She's a little bit drunk
Buzzed; no tipsy.
In a pool of despair she sits
Singing to herself.
Slowly she rises.
Still singing, the wheels in her
head
Are still and she mumbles words
only meant for her.
Pacing in her jungle
Her thin wall quakes;
In the after shock
In the after shock
She screams.
Loud enough to silence the sound of
her breaking heart.
Loud enough to drown his voice in
her head.
Trying so hard to dispel all of him
in her.
Her bloodshot eyes from
The mix of tears, booze and rile;
More intoxicating than he was.
Scour the room like a search dog.
Panic and the force of pettiness
urge her on
While the audience of furniture
Patiently watch.
Her search dog eyes find that which
they seek.
Furiously she types and just as
furiously she deletes.
The twins; Panic and Petty
Won't have that
Like two demons they goad
Until she gives.
With the draw of breathe
She hits send.
