long distance drunk

It’s a liquid dream
underneath it all
sobering moments creating the drunken fall.
Couldn’t contain the insane change
bottles and glasses
I wish I could remember her name.
Demented and disturbed phone calls reaching through an alcohol laced slur
pull the snapshots of my memory together
home of the blur.
I wonder if I’m sorry?  
Maybe I’m not, I don’t need a gun
I just need a bottle for my type of shot.
Paranoia in all these words
spilled under liquor and beer
redemption within a grasp of my next binge
I hope it’s near.
Close this tab
I’ve held onto for these drawn out years
I’ve bought drinks for fear
I’ve served shots to dreams
watched them pass by
I wish you were here.
Miscalculated the tip
maybe even the tab
I didn’t remember her name
our even what we had.
Could be this night
even all these days
misled my emotions to the crash in my embrace recognize the mirror
but can’t place the face.
There was a phone bill not too long ago
some calls that I made to someone I’m supposed to know
can’t recall the name
it’s somewhere I can’t go.
Faltered enough into corrupt states
lingered after hours in smoked out fates
serve up salvation and maybe I’ll stay.
My watch forgot about time
my glass remembers to have wine
and my mistakes are reminded I already miss you all the time.

Nice write.  Kinda hard to read but nice anyway.
