Amnesia Hundred Proof

the symbol that i so depended on
are now gone with the memory of
you walking blindly but happily out 
of my presense and inspiring the addiction
to that particular past....

the bottle looks deeply into my virgin 
eyes and lures me in enticingly and
mercilessly until the weakness cuts a small
but definitive incision in my brain emitting
ready....set....go....

now the thoughts of you dissipate slowly 
but rapidly from my mind and i think the 
happy thoughts a kid would think when 
a sweet tooth forms a heartbeat and a
wonderful treat awaits....

that is where i now make my home and i am
determined to never revisit the current of the
current and its currency ever again in altered
states of forever for a long as i continue living
and you continue breathing....
