Words that compliment these broken attributes
Radiate from the poison on your tongue.
My heart flutters and my precocious mind feels young.
A beautiful, drunken reminder of what it means to be appreciated...
Intoxicated and out of sorts, your words are slurred and rampant.
And though the sincerity might be gone,
I am without stern thought.
Lifting my heart in some peculiar, unexpected way,
You’re still just as charming when inebriated.
You make me forget this sham of a lie I have created
to block out any pain.
And you flood my pain with love and affection.
One simple call from a wasted, wandering friend
Reminded me how to feel again.
