Am I making myself clear?

and i'm so good
with metaphors and words
and the way they
look so pretty
and there may be
unsung divinity
in this
apologetic delivery
but does it show
how my heart breaks?
does it illustrate
the toll it takes?
so you have fun
tidying
and i'll take time
avoiding
until we can
dance and sing
together again
because friends
don't let other friends
drink and dance...

alone
