Distorted

[bean]

Drowning simultaneously,

forgetting our rotten past -

hurt and sorrow buried

in a passionate affair -

80 proof and beyond.

Overtly sexy, they said,

as only drunks like us

could be,

stumbling seductively,

swaying to industrial beats -

we were only attracted to

the intoxicated representations of

each other.

Outwardly composed,

battered and bruised internally.

Enabling me to enable you -

distorting reality further.

Together we sunk deeper,

destroying everything we had.

A never ending cycle -

Who puked on the floor?

Our elixir of love removed -

the truth glaringly obvious -

you were water

and I was fire -

completely incompatible.
