Absinthe My Love

Pavement glowed below, under unconscious feet
And before we uncover the morning bruises

Let me float over his presence still
Let this hurt a little more
Until I come cleaving
Shiny nails onto your back

I see them staring, I feel them, speaking
My forgiveness enhanced, his absolutism replaced
And BillyBoy is the ticket to your bedroom
Here are my veins to keep me able
Here is my body made
Of parts so wrongly exchanged

Pavement glowed below, under unconscious feet
And before we uncover the morning bruises

While I crept over the curb
With wasted soles and empty breast
Did you plan all my redemption
From the crime I can’t escape?
So I stayed because the warmness
Made me feel I was at home
I only wanted to break up, with me alone
