I’m drunk

& broken hearted

either a bad combo

or a good one—

the drunkenness

kinda puts off

the brokenheartedness

but if this train

don’t stop rocking

I won’t be able

to write this poem

which I may not

be able to write anyway

cause I’m too drunk

& there is this pain

gnawing in my heart

that just can’t be suppressed

no what

how hard I try

or how drunk I gt

it just won’t go away

and let me rest
