Whiskey Over Closure

Don’t need your reasons wrapped in grace, Don’t need your tears in a polished case. Keep your talks of healing slow — I drank that lie a year ago. You bring closure like a closing door, But I’ve already slept on barroom floors. I’d rather burn than beg again — So pour the bottle, skip the end. I’ll take whiskey over closure, Let the burn pull me closer To truths that ain’t dressed in peace — Just silence that don’t need release. You can write your pretty letter, But fire always reads it better. So don’t come actin’ like it’s over — I chose whiskey over closure. Forgiveness tastes like watered gin, And I ain’t drinkin’ that again. I’d rather feel the honest pain Than sip your smile through acid rain. I’ll take whiskey over closure, No soft goodbyes, no composure. You need the last word — I need the burn, And I ain’t beggin’ for return. Let the fire be my answer, Let the glass cut through the cancer. I ain’t askin’ to get sober — Just whiskey Over closure.
