The Pain That Comes

By johntaiyu


There's nothing quite like
the pain that comes
from being in love
with someone who can't give back,

to make one
such as me
want to say fuck it
and go get completely
totally
shit faced drunk.

That's the medicine for pain like this,
that works
even when it doesn't work.

You that can relate
will understand.
