THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE HIM

This is how you lose him

the drinking will be blamed on you

the assumption the 19 year old ruined his life

and not the other way around

He likes dark liquor

does double shots of makers on your birthday

blames you for his DUI

and not that he insisted on smoking pot

then driving you home

only

so you could work

in the morning

It’s always your fault

his drinking

his anger

his depression

his ego

he becomes your least favorite fan

he becomes something you don’t recognize

you swear it feels like there’s an enemy within

then he loses control.

This is how you lose him

you run.
