Pencil

In my brain your name has been crossed out,

But only ever in pencil.

Mine has been washed away,

By the omnipotent drink in your hand.

You are the only person I've ever kissed,

And you were drunk every. Single. Time.

I was only ever drunk after the first time when I realized that,

Your lips will only be made up of 1 part lust and 4 parts regret.

You only ever said I love you after:

1 tequila,

2 tequila,

3 tequila

4.

And at first I didn't mind,

I like that I was the only one on your mind,

As the alcohol raced through your veins.

But then I realized you couldn’t say it without that:

1 tequila,

2 tequila,

3 tequila,

4. Four. Four. Four.

Four times I left you and three times I came crawling back,

I will NEVER come crawling back. Never. Never. Never.

The pencil I crossed out your name with,

Has been replaced by pen.
