Drunken Kiss



Drunken Kiss


Bright lights blind. We have no love to sell.
You gave it all away. I meant every word.
I wanted you to stay. Eyes on you now.
Pretend I’m not even here. Perhaps another swig
of this five dollar beer...

Bright lights blind. The seventh circle of hell.
Beasts lust for you. I don’t even care.
Have your fun tonight. Dance me away.
I wish I could have gave you a romantic
twenty-second birthday.

Perhaps a goodnight kiss back at the motel?
Perhaps a goodbye kiss as you drive away?
You said I’m not corrupt like them.
I will always be the same.
Would our drunken kisses taste any different
if we were both sober and sane?
