Empty Bottles – LJ Prize Fight Entry #2

familiarity with the
numbness born of
Empty whiskey bottles. The
Cigarettes, at least, help me
slow my breathing, which I'll
assume checks the
palpitations. So many
attempts to snag it and set it
aside, but the
Guilt magicks itself back onto my
shoulders. I think the sad
Music distracts me, but the things I
should have been will
always
haunt
me;
my nightmare pièce de résistance.
