I’ve got too much to lose
Please don’t take my hope away
I feel alive in a new and exciting way
I blame it on the indescribable pleasures
And the sinfully wicked moments
Inspired by the wonders of your words
Invoked by the promise of more to come
Silence reigns as I contemplate reasons why
You give the gift of imagination
And purposefully flirt with destruction
Don’t you know I am without a doubt
Danger in a human shell
Perspective here for you to contemplate
How long does any fellow last
When they take a sip from my glass?
