Poetry

you are the wine.

i am nobody and she is nowhere
stuck between two worlds
one of wine and one of the sea
not a woman and not a girl
an unwanted melody.

an animal too civilized
a human still unevolved
i was not made for love
but I stay hypnotized
by the contempt in your eyes
there’s nothing good in there for me
but I’ll come back to see
the way I wish you’d look at me.

“Save me!” I cried
Still here I am.
it’s gotten worse.

i am nobody and she is nowhere
i get it!
you’re better than me
i get it!
you’re the wine & i’m the sea.

there’s nothing left to do
so i’ll drown my sorrows in you
and drown
my life
in
me.
