Out With The Old Case

Out With The Old Case

Slow sips huge gulps
I go from drinking
To drowning myself.
Let me lie and say its relaxing,
Im a social drinker
But I always drink alone,
Not abusing a concept I should be grasping
Halfway deep into the case upon my throne.
No im not me
Under the influence,
Im swallowed up slowly
With every ounce
The animal is let out,
Consuming till all is consumed
And no memory of my howl at the moon.
How good does it taste
When left hurting for days,
I'll never drink again
Etched upon my face,
But..... life hands me a bag of stress
I quickly struggle, and it's off to a place
To find my next case.
