Untitled

I drank you in like you were a Paloma

Bitter, strong, hot in my gut

Something about you tasted like vacation

Something about you made me feel like I should chase you

With a lime

The salt on the rim and the salt in the sea- both cleansing and burning

Paradise has a slow death

It lies stagnant while I pack my suitcase

You chose to get lost here instead

Wherever I go, I'll always know

I kissed you the same way the tide kissed the shores

The same way my lips kissed the rim of those Palomas.
