As we drank and gulped
the last two shots of tequila
burning down my throat
and numbing the pain
that I have to endure
from this day and ever
It was part celebration and
part funeral
for our love memoir
A celebration of all the
precious joyous moments
engraved forever
in our broken souls
A night of cocktails
of mixed emotions
I was leaving you
wanting you ever more
A soul splintered
mixed and rubbed
on those walls
painted with the
miseries
of our broken hearts
Intoxicated and numb
to the core
I can still taste the
burning taste of
our separation
till this day
in the back of my throat
a strong metallic taste
longing for you
evermore.

Wow, simply amazing. I got lost into each and every expression and could actually sense the emotions.
