How do I tell you* I love the way three dollar wine tastes, a cheap buzz lighting up my veins, merlot dripping tears on the floor I sought for comfort last night.
How do I tell you That silver is the sweetest color, singing songs into flesh as I drag her through scar ridden skin, opening rivers and avenues I could be an architect with the way I construct, drawing with permanent marker on scribbled, blood stained satin
How do I tell you I break off pieces of myself, store them in my broken heart bank, savor memories for later, when ripped liquid velvet doesn't leak onto my fresh floor anymore
How do I tell you I curse your nightly name, thick tongue tasting the stale sangria of your lips
How do I tell you How do I tell you *How do I tell you
