Sometimes
I find myself
Sipping on your
Intoxicating memory
And I continue
To drink you in
Until I am
Drunk on you.
It is only
Through this
Impaired judgment
I am able to
Find clarity
Because I am
Reminded of your
Presence.
And when
This sensation
Subsides I find
My sobriety
Only means
Dealing with the
Afflicting hangover
Of your absence.
And once again
I will look
For the glass
Into which
I can pour in
Your memory
To forget the pain
Of this void.
But this time
I find the glass
Along with my hope
Of your return
Shattered
On the ground
But I will still
Pick up the shards.
And I will try
To piece
These memories
Back together
Yet it is useless
Because the glass
Can never
Be complete again.
