RE:RE:FW:RE: One-Night Muse


Cold Brew and Nicotine


Captivating veiled in a cloud of nicotine

Secret longings sailing in smoke

Love is color to eyes that have never seen

In amber libations, her heart she’ll soak


Each sip closer to when the sadness slides

Bottles and cigarettes count hours gone

Each drag she confesses and she confides

She's long tired of the drama: Fine Being Alone


Her eyes betray secrets

that her smile works to hide

No lover. No regrets.

Only pain by her side.


Memories yet born

And things left unsaid

Haunt all the love songs

that play in her head


To love and be loved

First thing on her list

Three words are enough

To one never kissed


Cold universe

Cruel destiny

How ironic her name

Yet to everyone she’s happy

She just smiles through the pain


But in the small hours

When emptiness calls

Loneliness devours

Yet still she won’t fall


She looks up at the night sky and wonders away

Will these falling stars keep their promises she yells…

Will love be faithful and find her one day, someday

She fuckin’ hates that answer: “Only time will tell”


So just keep faking the smiles

Even after the smoke clears

Love may take more than a while

A thousand tears, maybe beers



I wrote this after meeting her on the Islands. 10 minutes. Drunk. I threw it away, but her friend picked it up. She read it and said I should share it with her. I didn't. But angst anyways.
