*petals.*
I sip from this bottle,
the salt of reminisce,
and the refinement of life.
I swig the snake's poison,
potent in it's charm,
layered by friendship,
I remember how my friend,
broke me not once nor twice,
ah these memories,
the downfall of the facade.
I swig the laughs,
the tears and the silence,
I thank the shoulder I leaned on,
bless it in solitude,
you were the rock,
that calmed my storm.
I take in the love,
stormy and steamy it's nature,
unrequited from my family,
my people that I counted on,
I remember the tides,
that I nearly drowned in,
and I'm grateful,
you were there.
I down happiness,
sadness too and the insomniac nights,
nights that I sat awake till morning,
frivolous fretting for the future,
I think how nice it would be not to think,
but how can I not,
when I was born a thinker.
I sip life,
and death in between,
for the ones we lost,
and the ones we found,
my heart silently weeps,
and rejoices in the joys,
how beautiful it is to live,
as the days pass awaiting death.
I smother the last mouthful,
cheers to you, me and us,
cheers to the swigs,
that we take everyday,
may we find strength,
and thrive in good health,
you should know I'm proud of you,
it wasn't easy to get here🦋.
