May 2016
I kept the shadows locked outside
They were from another time
But I brought those shadows home
They were hiding in your wine.

You saw my glass was empty
So you filled it to the brim
I drank the blood red contents
And it let the shadows in.

The night is only darkness
I don't mind its gloomy call
But shadows they can taunt you
Playing memories on the wall

I asked what am I drinking baby?
You smiled and poured your wine.
I drank down your last swallow
And let the shadows in my mind.

Now there's no more wine left
The bottles running dry.
But the shadows are still dancing
I can see them in your eye
