WHISKEY
love lingered on the night you
distracted me from the stars
we floated in the world we'd created
and you covered me in
whiskey flavoured kisses
now tonight, my heart aches
for the one that doesn't want me
my heart still yearns
for the one who promised to stay
but still found pieces of me to crack
when the night bleeds within,
all that I remember
burns like double shots of whiskey
it tastes sour and hot
and no affection is involved
