I slipped again In a long moon This time I saw The slip coming And still tried To play around And flip over the slip And accidented myself I saw my defenses breaking down And My heart misbehaving And now I let everyone down My mind tells me its just a slip But oh how toxic A drop of it on my tongue could Damage my taste buds. This time, I can't even assure My Dearest of how much I'm willing to rise up again. Fearing it might occur again The bitterness in my tongue Has seemly become familiar To my palate Sadly my appetite couldn't feed me with the right drug this time.

SLIP
I slipped again In a long moon This time I saw The slip coming And still tried To play around And flip over the slip And accidented myself I saw my defenses breaking down And My heart misbehaving And now I let everyone down My mind tells me its just a slip But oh how toxic A drop of it on my tongue could Damage my taste buds. This time, I can't even assure My Dearest of how much I'm willing to rise up again. Fearing it might occur again The bitterness in my tongue Has seemly become familiar To my palate Sadly my appetite couldn't feed me with the right drug this time.
