sometimes i wish 
 you were still the bitter taste 
 left on my tongue 
 instead of bleeding lips
 and swallowed sweet nothings
 sometimes i think 
you’re the tar in my lungs 
 and for a second when i can’t breath 
i remember how it feels to look at 
the icy rivers and black hole iris 
of your being sometimes i wish
 i knew how your hands felt around my neck
 but i think i thought i felt them there 
since the night you left 
me choking on lies 
that spewed with warm ***** 
and blaming tears on the stormy weather sometimes i think 
you think all the same 
 or maybe i just wish too much 
 pleasure and pain go hand in hand 
 but to me 
with you
 its just the same

Bitter taste
sometimes i wish 
 you were still the bitter taste 
 left on my tongue 
 instead of bleeding lips
 and swallowed sweet nothings
 sometimes i think 
you’re the tar in my lungs 
 and for a second when i can’t breath 
i remember how it feels to look at 
the icy rivers and black hole iris 
of your being sometimes i wish
 i knew how your hands felt around my neck
 but i think i thought i felt them there 
since the night you left 
me choking on lies 
that spewed with warm ***** 
and blaming tears on the stormy weather sometimes i think 
you think all the same 
 or maybe i just wish too much 
 pleasure and pain go hand in hand 
 but to me 
with you
 its just the same
