Sometimes She Forgets ©️

The connection between alcohol and love, once cast in mythic gold, has a darker side—a side soaked not in romance but in ruin. For while the drink may unlock the heart, it often blinds the eye. It confuses want for worth, lust for loyalty, and thrill for truth. What begins as a liberation can end in entrapment, like a siren’s song luring a ship toward rocks just beneath the surface. Alcohol makes promises it cannot keep, and love born in its shadow often turns brittle by morning.

Metaphorically, this pairing is not a dance but a duel. Alcohol hands you a sword with no grip, and love dares you to fight with it. You swing wildly, drunk on potential, slashing through your own boundaries and illusions. But in the sobering light of day, you discover that you’ve cut yourself more deeply than anyone else ever could. You mistook chemistry for connection, body heat for soulmate warmth. And when it’s over, you aren’t just heartbroken—you’re hollowed out, wondering if any of it was real.

For some, this cycle becomes addictive. The chaos of love mixed with liquor becomes a kind of ritual sacrifice: you offer up your clarity, your safety, even your dignity, hoping for one more night that feels like meaning. You keep returning to that temple of illusion, drinking from the same poisoned chalice, hoping it’ll turn to wine again. But it doesn’t. It never does.

And then there is the fatal metaphor—not just the death of a romance, but the slow spiritual decay of the self. When love is always sought under the influence, it never quite touches the soul. You forget what sober love feels like, what real intimacy looks like. You come to believe that connection only happens in the haze, that the only way to feel close is to be far from yourself. In time, this belief erodes the heart, corrodes the mind. You become a ghost of your own longing, chasing phantoms in the dark, mistaking every kiss for salvation and every silence for damnation.

So yes, alcohol and love may be dramatic lovers in myth, but in life, they are often tragic. Together, they can conjure ecstasy—but more often, they conspire to destroy what’s sacred: trust, clarity, self-respect. And what is left, once the glamour fades, is not romance but wreckage. Not a story—but a warning.

[Verse 1]

Clean shirt, breath mint, eyes full of hope, Heart in the ring like a goddamn rope.

Talkin’ dreams over overpriced drinks, But I’m watchin’ the cracks form under the winks.

She says, “I love art, and I hate routine,” But she’s scrollin’ her phone like a dopamine fiend.

I’m spittin’ soul, she’s skippin’ tracks—This ain’t a date, it’s a f***in’ act.

[Hook]

First date fatality, No spark, just formalities.

Two strangers sellin’ soft realities, Underneath it all—just casualties.

You wanted magic? This is static. Romance don’t live in apps and tactics.

[Verse 2]

She asks, “What’s your sign?” I say “Exit.”

She laughs, but her playlist says, “Regret.”

We dance on the edge of some maybe-kiss myth, But the vibe’s all gaslight and wishful fifths.

Table for two, but the ghosts got chairs.

Past lives, bad texts, old love affairs.

I’m not bitter—I’m just wide awake, This ain’t a spark, it’s a demo tape.

[Bridge]

No shame—this is how we play, Swipe right, dress tight, and pray it’s fate.

But fate don’t text back,

It just leaves you with the check

And a quiet walk home

Through a neon disconnect.

[Final Hook]

First date fatality,

Another notch in modern tragedy.

Two hearts with no anatomy, Looking for fire in a factory.

You wanted a spark?

I brought a bomb.

And now I’m gone.

BOOM.

The Tale of Hassan and the Treacherous Vizier

Hakim al-Baghdadi

In the bustling city of Baghdad, under the rule of a just but distant Sultan, there lived a young man named Hassan. Hassan was known for his kindness and diligence, working as a humble merchant in the city’s grand bazaar. His life was simple, but his heart yearned for adventure and wealth beyond his modest means.

One day, as Hassan was closing his stall, a mysterious man approached him. This man, cloaked in the finest silk, introduced himself as the Vizier’s emissary. He spoke with honeyed words, praising Hassan’s reputation and offering him a night of unparalleled luxury and pleasure in the Vizier’s palace. Intrigued and tempted by the promise of a night away from his monotonous life, Hassan accepted the invitation.

Hassan was led to the Vizier’s palace, a magnificent edifice adorned with precious stones and fragrant gardens. Inside, he was offered a pipe filled with the finest hashish. Unfamiliar with its effects, Hassan smoked the pipe and soon found himself in a state of blissful euphoria. He was then taken to a room filled with the most beautiful women he had ever seen, their beauty rivaling that of the houris described in holy texts. They attended to his every desire, and Hassan’s night was filled with intoxicating pleasures beyond his wildest dreams.

When the morning sun pierced through the curtains, Hassan awoke not in the opulent palace, but in a squalid room in an unfamiliar town. Confused and disoriented, he was approached by a stern handler who revealed the grim truth. The night of pleasure was orchestrated by the Vizier, who now demanded a favor in return. If Hassan wished to return to the paradise he had experienced, he must assassinate a prominent political leader who opposed the Vizier’s plans.

Hassan, desperate to relive the ecstasy of the previous night, reluctantly agreed. He was given a dagger and precise instructions. His target was a wise and noble man, beloved by the people, who stood as an obstacle to the Vizier’s sinister ambitions.

With a heavy heart, Hassan carried out the assassination. The blood of the innocent man stained his hands, and the weight of his deed pressed upon his soul. As he fulfilled his grim task, the handler appeared once more, promising to take him back to the paradise he had tasted.

However, once the deed was done, the Vizier had no intention of keeping his promise. To ensure there were no loose ends, Hassan was executed by the Vizier’s guards, his life snuffed out as swiftly as it had been entangled in the Vizier’s web of deceit.
