This Bar of Mine
There is a strange presence in this bar of mine
The kind that rattles the security in this heart of mine
A feeling that can't be shaken by this mind of mine
So I'll take another sip from the poison in this glass of mine
Another burning inhale from this toxic fire light of mine
So the smoke can ease gently in these lungs of mine
Sitting all alone at the table with this self hate of mine
I know I that I should be loving each moment of this life of mine
Memories keep flooding the gates to this head of mine
Mixed feelings brewing together in this chest of mine
The colour blue makes its way into this body of mine
I'll drown it with amber courage from this pint of mine
Beginning to enjoy every moment of this time of mine
As long as I'm sitting here alone waiting on these friends of mine
The kind that rattles the security in this heart of mine
A feeling that can't be shaken by this mind of mine
So I'll take another sip from the poison in this glass of mine
Another burning inhale from this toxic fire light of mine
So the smoke can ease gently in these lungs of mine
Sitting all alone at the table with this self hate of mine
I know I that I should be loving each moment of this life of mine
Memories keep flooding the gates to this head of mine
Mixed feelings brewing together in this chest of mine
The colour blue makes its way into this body of mine
I'll drown it with amber courage from this pint of mine
Beginning to enjoy every moment of this time of mine
As long as I'm sitting here alone waiting on these friends of mine

Dear U,
I thought your poem very relatable. It made me think how often I’d find comfort, courage and solace in a glass. And, it was a lot less work than maintaining certain relationships. But I digress. It’s a very impactful write speaking to so many solitude-like emotions. H🌷
