a rush of adrenaline
straight to the soul
whether you like to admit it
or not, drinking is the solution
to reality. guilty of feeling
too much for you. guilty
of loving too much of you.
all that is apparently true
is not. I know what it means
to feel your sting of jealousy
when you mean to be sweet
and delicious. It’s not me–
it’s you. You have it all wrong
when I promise nothing.
I can make you love on the
rocks
balance on your
bed with one foot.
all the tricks you
asked me to do
I didn’t even want them
all I want
is what you can’t give me.

Wow, this is amazing.
‘is what you can’t give me’.
It reminds me of Christina Perri’s modern masterpiece ‘Jar of Hearts’ – www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOYnrBuIMgA
Thank you so much! If it reminds you of such a beautiful song, I am humbled. 🙂
