After A while

after a while

 

***** turns to water

and all of a sudden

it doesn't burn like it used to.

 

dancing turns to kissing

turns to *******

 

mistakes you can't take

back with the door wide open.

 

"this isn't free ****

at least someone

is looking out for me,

because I sure as hell ain't.

 

the truth turns to rumors

as pinocchio's nose grows.

 

"that's not what happened!

 

not exactly"

I try to salvage what's left

of my reputation.

 

but then again,

I was too drunk to

know what really did happen.
