Truth

It didn't feel like I thought it would

Perhaps it was the booze that was coursing through my body
In my blood
Not taken to dull this moment
To give me the courage to say what I did
None of this was planned
You asked me a question and I thought
Fuck it
Just be honest
It wouldn't matter tomorrow
So I told you my truth
And before you could say anything about it
Someone interrupted our conversation
And your attention was focused elsewhere

I sat there, cradling my drink
Waiting for the relief to kick in
The weight of what I'd just accepted
Instead I felt nothing
So I turned to whoever was seated to my left
And went on with life as if nothing had happened
