By: Chloe Barrett

We drank vodka till 2 A.M.

On the hammock in your backyard

Your parents were asleep

So we tried to be quiet

You kissed me up and down

And it tasted so sweet

Your lips stained my skin

And I radiated like the lightening bugs in the sky

We talked about everything that night

I told you how my chest always feels tight

You told me you’d make it go away

And I cried

And cried

You pretended to relate

But that didn’t matter

Because it actually felt like you understood

You were like home

And I unlocked the door and made myself a bed

But months later

I got evicted

You moved away

Your lips left me with scars

And I stopped letting them show

I don’t drink vodka anymore either

The taste is too bitter
