Love's cups are all around,
Half-full, half-empty, overturned or forgotten
Nothing can be as toxic, as overpowering
As unforgettable and remorseful, all at once.

Drink at your own despair, drink to drown the here and now
Be born away, a willing victim, and drink:
Drink up until your cup is drained away
And then only dream, of other cups and days;
Love will never come to stay.
