Hopeless Romantic/Drunkard Poem by pavitra singh

I wake up
After days
Cant feel my insolent brain
Still in an inebriated state
Lying on the wooden floor
Can smell teak, mixed with weed and alcohol
The perfect mix for treating insomnia
My words don't make sense anymore
I try to find you, reach you
With my eyes still closed
I barely walk, try to crawl
Out of this damned hell hole
Insanity grips me tight
Day light feels too bright
My own mind playing tricks with my heart
I'm nothing more than a deck of cards
The queens gone, the king dead
I'm just a joker trapped inside these bars
I've been trying to run away
Move out of harms way
But you just keep playing
This foolish game of destroying
The one you once loved
And it breaks me apart
Knowing i still
Drink every night
With your name in my mind

and now I'll fall in love again
with this next whiskey shot.
