Care

Only because it's National Poetry Day... and because putting together Poison and Wine by the Civil Wars change these lines to a place where I used to be once.

The long silent scream

Screams on

Don’t care how many cigarettes you smoke

Don’t care how much you drink

Care how you drink

Exclusively, desperately

Thirst that won’t be quenched

By wine, by time

Made of stronger mettle

Best left to one

Who knows best

For the little I know is enough
