I Loved You Most
When You Were Drunk
And, when the strength you found in the bottle
Brought out the affectionate side of you,
You would hug and hold me so close, while
Wrapping me in your deceptive warmth.
I didn’t care that you were drinking.
And, when you would howl out her name
In unbearable, heart-wrenching agony,
Unable to raise your broken body and soul
Off the cold tiled bathroom floor.
I didn’t care that you were drinking.
And, when you looked at me confused and
Unable to even recognize my face because of
The ferocious hunger you felt to bring her back
While your grief was swallowing you whole.
I didn’t care that you were drinking.
Because, when the lights at night were dimmed,
And you thought she was the one lying next you,
You would reach out and tenderly hold me tight,
Loving my body with such rapture, that
I didn’t care that you were drinking.
I loved you most when you were drunk.
