WINE GLASS MISTAKES

I am drunk on promises

I am too afraid to keep.

drunk on all the possibilities

loving you would bring me.

I am drunk at two p.m.

on the anniversary

of the day we met

thinking about how drunk

we must’ve been

to believe

this was kismet.

I am drunk on the promises

you haven’t said yet.

believe it or not,

I am drunk not on wine,

but every pinky swear

you ever bent.

I am drunk on the promise

of better days ahead

and am too dizzy to see

I’m about to fall down the steps.

I am too drunk on your promise

that you will always catch me

to notice you were never

meant for me.

I am drunk on promises

we were destined to break,

promises more fragile than

our wine glass mistakes.
