Just another night
Wrapped in whiskey
Tender words roll off your tongue
like how I roll this blunt for us
Car ride to a party we'd rather skip
Turns into an L ride that helps us tolerate
the people you call your friends
You allow alcohol to consume you
And I act like high is the new sober so you let me drive
Stumbling like you can feel the earth's rotation
I play the pillar
the earth's axis
Getting you up the stairs
Your words slur
But you're intoxicated with more than just Daniels
Piercing blue eyes, you apologize
I tell you that I love the pain you inflict on me
You're a wasp that hates humans
And I'm a human obsessed with your kind
You're mine
For tonight
I devour your vanilla absent mindedly
And you swim in chocolate rivers like
we are in a scene of Willy Wonka
We wake up with cavities
and the inability to speak
Kiss on the forehead is your goodbye
I lock the door like the end of a movie
But life keeps going
so you'll call me tonight
If not you, another creature I'll grow a temporary fixation with
Like a vhs tape I'll rewind and repeat
and repeat
and repeat

Really good, Phoenix. It resonates with strong truths, one being acceptance which is not blind. I'm glad I've gone back a bit.
