Bittersweet

Contemplating loneliness and drawing multicoloured lines
Of truth and lies and black and white and your red lips pressed into mine
A character sketch of an act of fiction, my little daytime me
Night-time bouts of truth collide come morning

A roaring drunk love story, two broken lives
Bittersweet and amber wine
Opened and poured out like your heartbeat
Driven up and against mine

Back and forth retracting faith and longing of a shattered show
A dazzling display of lights and sounds and love as far as that can go
Lastly comes the intellect expected from an open bar
Fluttering eyelash across the room and my heart hooked

A roaring drunk love story, two broken lives
Bittersweet and amber wine
Opened and poured out like your heartbeat
Driven up and against mine

A roaring drunk love story, two broken lives
Bittersweet and amber wine
Opened and poured out like your heartbeat
Driven up and against mine

And now as I wait and I wait I realise, you’re what I needed all along
And now I’ve found something worth living for

A roaring drunk love story, two broken lives
Bittersweet and amber wine
Opened and poured out like your heartbeat
Driven up and against mine
