Another Drink sir? 

No?

Alright.

You drink my everything dry

No ice?

Alright.

You overpour my emotions to the brim

Another Drink?

Sir, you had enough.

No?

I trust you.

I’ll  allow it, just to keep that smile. 

I allow it just to keep it going.

I allowed it, because I thought I could be free.

I allowed it because you took everything from me…

But you.

Another Drink…. Sir? 

              Drip .

                    Drip   .

                                    Drip      .

                                               Drip          .

Blood stained glass shattered; swept in the corner.

Another Drink Sir?

Blood stained liquid filled to the brim.

Another part of me, gone just for this?

You're done, you’ve taken your last sip?

Get up and leave. Without paying the tab.

Then sooner or later you will come running back.

Addicted?

No?

Foolish?

That’s me. 

Here he comes stumbling in.

Drinking for free.

Taking all that is left of poor old me.

Oh only if he could see.

Would he care?

For him, it's all a blur.

Oh sorry...

Would you like another drink sir?
