Drunk Text

And, so, eventually it got to where
I had to start hiding my phone

before I started drinking just
to quit drunk texting you.

But, I’d always find it
when I dropped the weed

or something. And, then it
got so bad to where

I had to block your number
before I started drinking

so I’d forget I blocked you.
But, something on the tv

would always remind me of you
and I’d remember.

‘Course, babe, it went on
so bad to where, finally,

I had to quit drinking
just to quit drunk texting you.

And, that’s when I knew
I had a problem.

But, I sought professional help
and I joined a group

and I got sobered up.
‘Course, now, people

do relapse, I’m not saying
they don’t. Anyways, babe,

that’s about the size of it.
Hit me back when you can.
