Sip ‘n Sin by John Patrick Robbins

Sometimes the knowledge of knowing one last binge can end it all brings a warmth to my heart.
For in my passing I will at last be free.

To be whispered upon the winds and embraced in a lone saltwater tear that gently embraces a dingy unswept floor.

The ice will slowly melt, the booze fiery embrace will be that parting kiss.

Departure is bittersweet to the beloved, never the strangers of forgotten sunsets and past ill-fated romances.
Don't regret the choice as I mask my truths with the last pour.
