Day 141: I Hurt

I hurt
So I drink till I stop
My only known refuges
Found in the cork pop
When the water of your tears
Tears new rifts in my skin
The soothing alcohol
Numbs the pain that I'm in
I can't swim
So I drink until the lake
Is shallow enough that I can touch
The bottom and stay awake
But half way through
I get too sleepy to continue
And I sink below the depths
Of the pain mirrored in you
And I die every time
I see you cry
And I die every time
I hear you lie
And I die every time
You refuse to speak to me
The silence tears me up
Inside
