Bitter Love

Bitter wine in the tone of your voice

 

Falsely soothing and secure like laughing gas

 

With this rhythmic beat that lulls me

 

As I silently sip from your cup and absorb the parts of you

 

The fermented time spent in your arms

 

That reveals it's worth in the days stored away

 

Purple stained lips of pleasure left by your kiss

 

While I stumble off, dizzied by our bliss

 

Lost in the whirlwind of promises

 

Because you give me a faulty sense of self

 

With the cloak of guzzled dreams we've made

 

But when we fail the darkness lays it's vail before my eyes

 

So that tomorrow I forget the shattered glass

 

And become intoxicated by you again

 

Drunken with the bitter wine in the tone of your voice

 

Falsely soothing and secure like laughing gas
