“Are you drinking again?”
A question you’ve asked me
A million times
Our butts freezing
On the stone stairs
Is this the fourth or fifth time?
I lost count
“Let’s not rush”
“Take things slow”
Is that going to solve anything?
“As you wish,” I say
It will take a week or so
And I will need more than you can give
But you already know it
You say I’m not involved
But all we do is small talk
Take things slow, I guess
Can’t you see the sparks?
I’m already ignited
Asking for more
More of you
Much more
No, I’m not drinking
But as slow as we go
The sparks turn into fire
I can’t control
Can’t put out
The slower we go
Bottles appear
In my hands again
