the deemed -> counterfeit joy

my love, the alcohol,
bringing me to worlds I call my own;
where I am roving Mars
marked with your name
on every inch of skin.

where, fighting is distorted,
down the beer bottle;
and stored forever dry.
where laughter is restored
in our paralyzed brains.

my darling, the joint,
smoking you through your
mouth, and into my lips.
life becomes surreal;
your presence everywhere.

but, when the hangover comes,
you’ve pinned into nausea;
and the battles are realesed
from my stomach. and still,


you’re the only drink I’ll ever need.

    Wow.
    This was really profound, and seemed so genuine, and real. You carried out the metaphor well and the imagery wasn't bad at all.
    I've enjoyed this one the most so far. Good luck to you.
