TASTE

Lift it

lift it

lift it to my lips again

Just one more sip

of your wine that filled my mouth

like warm blood

A snarl of twisted metal

A crime scene on my tongue

You gave me bitter wine to drink

hate worn under a mask of sweetness

And what did I do to you?

What did I ever do to you?

Put it to my lips

put it to my lips again

Just one more drag of your cigarette

salty and stained with tears

Take my wallet

take my shoes

But just one last drag

One last drink

Just don't

don't leave me
