As the wine stung my lips. br My mind dizzied with dreams. br At least, I cannot hope to think it was reality. br br I swallowed hard the poison. br Ignored the soul searing pain. br I wanted you; or there was no cause to remain. br br Kiss my bare shoulder. br Make my blood speed and rush. br Never knew that I just couldn’t be enough. br br But you were seeking her. br And I remained as me. br I chose to disregard the facts and fall asleep. br br I crave pretty words. br Do not bore me with the truth. br I want to bask in the foolishness of youth br br It happened so fast. br Too soon we said our goodbyes. br To this day I still don’t know exactly why.
