Absinthe

A bottle green glow in the dark of my mind

Drip by drip, The world spins slow

Lost in the vapor, The stars misaligned

Who am I? Do I even know?

Swirling clouds, My shadow bends

Chasing whispers where the road ends

Absinthe

It burns

It ssoothes

It scars

Absinthe

The truth hides in the stars

Absinthe

I see

I break

I mend

Absinthe

Myself

My only friend

Mirror cracked,

A face I don’t recall

Liquid courage,

A map in the haze

Dizzy on the edge,

About to fall

I find myself in the strangest ways

Blurry outlines, A fleeting shape

Every sip a sweet escape

Absinthe

It burns

It soothes

It scars

Absinthe

The truth hides in the stars

Absinthe

I see

I break

I mend

Absinthe

Myself

My only friend
