Whiskey Words

Whiskey Words

The quickly scribbled words
Black against glass
Tear me down
With every glance their direction

A bottle of whiskey
Someone was there
With unspoken wishes
I still make the first snow fall angels

Inside jokes over forward addresses
Trials and tribulations of friends
Hands held under the bar table
The un-ceremonial asking "so do you wanna?"

Laughter through the grates
Home cooked meals
Unsung bad kareoke lullabyes
Stumbling home, but still hand in hand

Unnerving neutrality
Spoken through tears over an ended phone call
I've turned to ice inside
You made it snow
