A Poem

By Jessica KarnesPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Sunlight is limited in February

I was in the dark for most of winter

I got drunk for the first time

It’s the mistake that defines me

I listened to my heart instead of my head

I called him

Rather, someone called him for me

I confessed my undying love for him, to him

He was my friend regardless, because he’s too kind

I was able to paint a false picture

He knew, he knows

I am the one in denial

I think one day he’ll find a girl he loves

But I don’t think that girl will be me

One day, I’ll find a pen and paper

And I’ll write my legacy

He will see

He will know

He won’t say or do anything

And I’ll be the one who won’t be able to move.

Maybe I’ll get drunk for the second time

How can one get deeper than rock bottom?
