For Loko

I was so intoxicated by you

Vision blurred with bliss, judgement impaired through infatuation

Your words filling me with confidence I’ve never had.

Weak in the knees, walking through a spinning room of captivation

Everything I wanted to say, everything that I am was ejected from my throat

The words “I Love You” spewed into a porcelain punchbowl.

But you were just a long, wild night

Gone in the morning, heart burning and brain blanking

So no,

I’m not heartbroken by you, I’m just hungover from you
