There’s always some kind of line
between breaking and broken
You often don’t know you’re past it until it’s too late
There’s always a moment where you can be saved
And a moment where you find you’ve come too far
That turning back would be harder

And instead of living with a hole inside you

I starved for a sense of normalcy that I would never have....
Isn’t this Poetry?
The sound men
The sound men
The sound, sound men
make with their dry lips
around the rim of empty bottles,
speaking their foul breath into the glaringly empty amber pit
(that little whimper of the strong man, who can’t lift himself from the bottle)
the sound

I backed up, watching as her fac...
