Alcohol fuels the fire ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Fans the flames of belligerence
Or indifference
Makes them go higher ๐
It doesn’t matter
All that happens for me
is selfish entitled chatter ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ค
What happened to the evening
The planned cosy natter?
Nearly a bottle in
and I’m starting to sound
a bit funny ๐คช
Like the Mad Hatter ๐๐ฉ
The outlook then isn’t sunny โโก๐ฉ
“Why are you in such a hurry
to leave?” I say
“I’m trying to tell you
What was it again?โโ๏ธ๐
“Anyway
As I was trying to say
Doesn’t anyone care how I feel?๐ญ๐ข
I mean what’s the deal?!!!??? ๐ ๐ก๐คฌ”
Yes my husband patiently replies ๐๐
but those feelings aren’t real
I mean you do know don’t you
That alcohol lies? ๐คฅ
As I put down my glass
when I’ve drained my drink
I will start to wearily think ๐ค
What happened to the relaxing night?
This could end up in a shouty fight ๐ฅ
Over who’s wrong and who’s right
And I’ll wish I’d stayed sober
This October ๐๐๐
Not to mention the
hellish hangover๐ค๐คข๐คฎ
The Spirit is not in the Bottle itโs in You โฆ

If you are drinking too much too often and want to stop or take a breakโฆ
