Love Poem: If the Vodka Could Speak

If the Vodka Could Speak

If the vodka could talk, I'd have no secrets left
It would share all of my bleeding wounds and regrets
I'd be looked at differently for the rest of my life
If the vodka could talk, I'd finally be able to cry without it being on the inside 

I'm glad the Vodka can't talk because it would tell you so much 
It would inform you of all the rhymes on paper I ripped up
The vodka would tell you I've struggled to move on since we stopped speaking
It would tell you everytime I recall a memory of you my heart starts bleeding 

Alex gave too much of his heart to Meg who didn't appreciate it
He tries to dress it up, but he shouldn't have let her see him naked 
Not without clothes, but he shouldn't have shared his own pain and carried her
She just wanted someone to speak to, but he would have married her

The vodka would say I made a big mistake by breaking up with Stacey 
I've been thinking a lot about her lately 
She should have been his happily ever after, but he pushed her away
2 years later he's realising his mistake and checks her page almost daily 

If the vodka could speak it would admit that Alex has wrote out a few messages to send to her
He takes a drink of me but then deletes the heartfelt words 
Everytime he uses a knife to cut his food he has flashbacks to his self-harming days 
Thoughts of self-doubt and Suicidal thoughts pop into his mind at an alarming rate 

Alex is tired of going to the club and having meaningless flings
He just wnats to find the right girl and begin a real thing
If the vodka could speak then all of these secrets would escape 
Damn, I guess I shouldn't have drank Vodka before I wrote on this page
