Home
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
