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
