Insatiable-
Draining bank accounts
Eating fistfuls of money
Searching for savory
To satiate this hunger inside.
Unstable-
Every inconvenience
Streams tears into my mouth
Searching for salt
To drown this sadness.
Unable-
Knowing the dangers
Can’t keep us apart, I’m
Searching for sweet
To heal this illness.
Let’s reminisce
About the days
When we were old enough
To know better
But young enough
Not to care.
When we spent
Our hard earned money
On temporary satisfaction
Gone as soon
As they’d been obtained.
Liquid courage
To get us through
The days to come-
And the only things
We have to show
For our mistakes
Are the friendships
That made us stronger
And the lessons
We’ll never forget.
