Love Poem: Whisky-Stained Silhouette

Whisky-Stained Silhouette

a whiskey stained silhouette outlines your figure 
and the spiced smell of your breath lingers in the air
drunken lies in the late hours of the night make us both forget about how bitter, our lives taste
filling your soul with fire and regret every sip you take
swallow the flame, it sets fire to the heart
the burning sensation takes away the heartache
at what cost is this okay?
you’ve lost yourself
a mere lifeless clone of your body 
walks around without a care in the world how his actions affect somebody
