Alcoholic Tendencies
A pang of fearful doubt
Like feet walking on
Creaking wooden floorboards
Is trembling inside of me.
For a second
I think that you're asleep
Until a thousand invisible
People shake your every limb.
Your eyes are filled with tears,
Battling to see through them
As your hand reaches to touch me
Because we both don't know
If there will be
Another tomorrow.
I've never held on so
Tightly onto you
Because I thought death
Only took the old but once
You underestimate death,
You underestimate life.
Why couldn't we be
A normal family?
Maybe that's what I'll wish
For on my birthday
Before I blow out the candles
Instead of having to
Listen to the sound
Of my heart beating against
Your warm hairless shoulder
My face planted deep inside
So that all I can hear is your
Voice echoing
Please don't die
Please don't stop breathing.
