Rivers of Wine

I licked his lips

They tasted of stale women

Of rivers of wine

Nights of the sound of her dissatisfied sighs.

You tormented heart

Twisting violently to fit the shape of her mold

Pleading for a miraculous flame in the bitterness of her cold

Flecks of blood form here From shards Of

your shattered heart here on my tongue

letting the corpses of its decaying music evaporate into coarse negligence

As if it had never been sung.

Scorned. you weep on my body

My fierce warriors spirit

Frail shoulders attempting to bear the brunt of your past.

Assure you of your beauty and that of the man beneathe the mask.

A tear sneaked out your eye and into my mouth. but i cant drink you in… find a way to get out

Run for your life into the future stop drowning your soul in the river

s of wine
