85 - Wine Tasting
I treated my lovers like
wine at a wine tasting.
Only I didn’t savor each sip
the way you are supposed to.

Only I didn’t savor each sip
the way you are supposed to.
Taking in the aroma, swirling it around slowly,
even spitting it out every so often
to avoid getting drunk.

No, I gulped down each one
desperate for the next.

Dehydrated, thinking wine would
quench that thirst.

I kept drinking until
I was so blurry
I couldn’t taste a thing.
Until the flavors blended together into
one endless feeling.
Nausea.

That didn’t stop me though.
I kept going until I was kicked out.
Sitting lonely on the curb.
Someone spoke out to me,
I kept going until I was kicked out.
Sitting lonely on the curb.
Someone spoke out to me,
“You aren’t ready to be
given so many options.
Go drink some water.
Take some time.
Cleanse your palette.”
