    *
sometimes
those farthest away
are the most loved
because
sometimes
the love is so intense
that it would scorch
anyone within reach
    *


    *
the very moment
that I down the fifth shot
to make myself forget
I remember
the reason
why I shouldn't drink.
    *


    *
when I look into her eyes
big and full of questions
and all she asks is "Why?"
Will I be able to say
"Because I loved your mom?"
    *


    *
there is a lot you can drown
in a shot glass
but no matter how hard you try
you cannot drown existence
