Intoxicated promise.

INTOXICATED PROMISE.
snk

I will face your demons.
No chemical delay.
Reality relinquished.
Drink yourself astray.
Selfishly addicted.
Numbing every pore.
Your pitiful desire.
A casualty of bore.
We are the real victims.
Sobriety defined.
Picking up the pieces -
of your abandoned mind.
I shadow your delusion -
from the corner of my eye.
I flee in desperation -
from your artificial high.
Pathetic paranoia.
Immeasurable deceit.
Intoxicated promise.
The one you never keep.
