take me away
out of this state
with warm touch
and whiskey taste.

take me away
cigarette lips
twisted arms
and pressed hips.

take me away
lost in cold blues
fingers memorizing
every inch of you.

take me away
steal my breath
cradled in the arms
of my very death.

brush your lips
and hold you back
as if i knew this moment
would be our last.

kiss your lips
reluctantly release
now waiting for you
to come back to me.
