The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Burn me

Burn me with your love poison
Soak yout acid through my skin
Extract the soul inside me
Leave just emptiness within

Corrode me with your laughter
Freeze me cold and numb
Erase me with your judgement 
And make me mute and dumb

Because you have eroded
What was already worn
The trauma and the pain 
In me became reborn

So use your words as flames 
They linger in my heart
I am just burnt edges
As ashes fall apart
