Drown Your Lover
Three shots of whiskey drowns two more lovers
Seduction is easy tonight
Sparks fly from their eyes
High on everything, except honesty
The night is electric
Sweaty
Dangerous
People move their hands around in blind ecstasy
Feeling for someone to comfort them tonight
"I do not need this," you think, stumbling into a shadow,
"but the music makes me want to fuck, and my life is cold"
You'll press up against him
Shivering like a newborn
Crying like a saint
For a few minutes you feel like nothing ever happened
No wars, no scars, no heartache
There was never a Hitler and never a Pope
Just you, and him
Grinding and perspiring
Clawing and singing
To a song that you'll never know

this could be the whole poem. |

What a great piece. (no pun intended) Hauntingly seductive.
"Grinding and perspiring
Clawing and singing
To a song that you'll never know"
We dance to a song we hardly understand. Once understood, however, we're too old to dance to it anymore. |

Well, jessi, I must say, the title invited me to read. Very sexy, and yes, cheap, but in a romantic way. Something we should all do to keep that spark going, don't you think?
Thanks for the read.
