A Quatern Of Drunken Wisdom
There's a cruel honesty to drunken wisdom.
Advice harshly said and can't be forgiven.
Words that are weaponized and disguised in truth.
A Trojan horse but wrapped in proof.
Anxiety creates mental division.
There's a cruel honesty to drunken wisdom.
Divulging beliefs without any filter.
Attempting calm while deep rage swelters.
When these words escape from a once loving voice.
The mix of feelings of pain, heart black as a void.
There's a cruel honesty to drunken wisdom.
Wanting to leave, but most likely stay with them.
A fatuous trial to hold things together.
Fool's errand turned into a fruitless endeavor.
When sobriety returns, it's still hard to envision,
There's a cruel honesty to drunken wisdom.
just noticed a Quatern is 8 syllables per line... so I made an adjustment but I like both versions...
There's cru'lty to drunken wisdom.
Advice harsh. Can't be forgiven.
Weaponized words hidden in truth.
A Trojan horse but wrapped in proof.
Anxiety creates division.
There's cru'lty to drunken wisdom.
Divulging beliefs. No filter.

Words escape a once loving voice.
Feelings mixed, heart becomes a void.

Should leave. Most likely stay with them.
Fatuous to hold together.
Fool's errand? Pointles endeavor.
Sober times hard to envision,
There's cru'lty to drunken wisdom.
