Drunk

I  got drunk off my tears 

I let the salt trickle  down my throat

and burn the callused wounds in my heart

it burned like gasoline but the feeling left me peaceful better than alcohol.

I doused the bottle down my throat and  swallowed my pain.

I went to the cupboard and grabbed a cup

and twisted out my handkerchief and let the tears hit the bottle 

I let them fall

too fast and they shatter

Now I am mess and drunk 

and spilling over with guilt

this was just accident 

I didn't mean for it happen

I just was drinking to get out of my head

I love how my mouth is left dry aching with pain

But the salt tastes so good

so why stop?

They say: "salt heals all wounds"

I am just trying to cover the wound in my heart.
