The ritual

I’ll be drinking whiskey this night
several and several glasses
so as to forget you

I’ll be smoking cigarettes this night
one after the other
so as to forget you

I’ll be burning my blood this night
flooding it with pure heroin
so as to forget you

And after this, I’ll think about you
and everything we’ve been through 
so as to remember to repeat the ritual
day after day ‘till I’m dead
