Backslide

I was good for so long  
in a house rid of the poison
Hardly even a wish  
Set a mature example  
Coped with a pandemic  
and a mass murder  
with nary a sniff  
to show it could be done
But  
One night of celebration  
Well-deserved  
What could it hurt..?  
Back to my tricks  
relishing the numb  
and sneaky as hell  
Better mark bottles again  
but not for her  
Because  
This tree is falling  
right beside that apple
and the comfort of the fall
is delicious
