From across the bar...
There you are.
Behind the bar with
False sense of security
I continue on
#
Every day I feel
Like my heart is undergoing
Daily dialysis
#
One day closer to
Feeling like myself again
And getting you out
#
Then out of nowhere
There you are, in front of me
With your intent look
#
Emotions seep in
Shock the system all at once
Treatment is now stalled
#
They all bubble up
Like the post mix I add to
The purchased spirits
#
You looked so damn good
Better than I remember
Can't help but think it
#
Your presence brings a
Warming glow to the cold dark
Corner of the room
#
Your smile pricks my skin
with goosebumps, that make me
Shake but also melt
#
Your stare reminds me
Of how you used to look at
Me, so intrigued
#
Like Motley Crue sang
You kickstarted my heart
What do I do now?
#
Did I just need to
See you once more? To complete
My recovery?
#
Has this maybe worked?
Done the trick? Am I still hooked?
Only time will tell...
