A Little Like CandyA Poem by Sarah McKeever HittThe night I faked it.
You taste a bit like candy
And you smell a little like hatred Your face reminds me of grass stains And you make me feel alone Your hand on my arm is like fire And the bartender seems to notice He covers my wounds with poison in a glass And I thank him with a five dollar bill Saved by the beats of the speakers And I am grateful for the effects. I close my eyes to feel alive And let the music saves me. The air reeks of tequila And it makes me want to kiss you The music vibrates my bones And I just want to cry. My head is spinning like mad And I stay in this moment too long My flesh is shivering and wet And you are dry as a bone. © 2010 Sarah McKeever Hitt |
