Soberly Intoxicated

by jazzelle-monae

It's such the contradiction the way you make me feel like the earth has drunk the whiskey, the sun's sober spill. Tilted on my axis, weaker in my knees I don't exactly grasp the spell you put on me. You sedate me oh so smoothly, like vodka in a glass, My morning mug of coffee, you keep me clear, fast. like clockwork, your lips find mine, and my heart is in your hand sober and intoxicated just like you had planned
