Your whiskey words, still full of lust,
breathed praise into my little ears,
as you shoveled me under your weight.
But I still tasted your sour inability
to care about anything but yourself.

Powerful use of words. Devastatingly sad. Too bad it needed to be written.

Unfortunately yes. I wish it didn’t need to be written, or lived by anyone. But thank you for the kind words.

Your choice of words to describe unpleasantness in this piece is brilliantly descriptive. Sometimes we need this to waken us up to the need for decency. Well written. Blessings KR
