Love Poem: Expensive Bourbon

Expensive Bourbon

The expensive bourbon doesn’t work any better
Than the cheap stuff 
To get the thoughts of her 
Out of my head
If only for a little while 
I drink to escape how I feel for her
Knowing that I shouldn’t
Knowing that she doesn’t 
But it’s nice for a while 
Not to feel so bad
Not to feel so lost
Not to feel so rejected
It’s nice to feel numb 
If only for a little while 
Until I wake up the next day
With aching head 
And a wounded heart
Looking forward to doing it again 
And to drown the thoughts of her 
If only for a little while
