Drinking you in – 12.11.2025

How can they deal with the pain, I know mine lingers still

Crevices, heavy clots dripping right on the floor

Only to punch me in the gut again, with a ...maybe never more

Is it really you? Showing your teeth after a while, avoidance’s a deafening shrill

Even so, the possibility of holding her, gone at a whim

Stab in the gut when I remember what the other meant to him.

And it wasn’t delirium, I could still hope for her love,

Baby, your sweet laughter, running through a garden, little dove

Sweet-scented hair, tiny hands, palms upwards in the air

I will return now to my query of the skies, secrets shared between the stars

And there I linger, for a while, won’t you lend me your indifference, trade my scars?

The drinks have long drowned the bitter, ebbing and flowing taste, along with your promises

So I drift alone in limbo, choking on naivety while leaving your premises

Absently drifting through clusters of earthly nebulae, full of heavy grays

Guitar chords in the background still play while I

Fall asleep without you lying next to me, wishing I could void my mind into nothing

Severed from everything

To make my blood run cold, stop flowing, at all...
