Scarlet Liquid,Crystal Kiss

Another sip is taken,a cigarette burns away unattended
Cheers to the scarlet liquid,and the sorrow that consented
To the time spent dancing my lips,on the rim of a crystal kiss
Freefalling tears so warm,how appropriate for times like this

Lying here on satin sheets,flesh adorned in burgundy lace
I long for the smooth caress, of forgiveness in an embrace
With my every faltered breath,though more like a naked sigh
I release my pain in silent tears,in hope this hurt will say goodbye

Slowly casting guilt filled eyes,around this room,until they fall
Upon the candlelit silhouette,of the ghosts from tears before
Distant are the smiles,nearer to me now is deep despair
And to this empty feeling,only your death could compare

I play my tear kissed lips,upon the crystal,now refilled
And in the silence of my grieving,my breath is almost stilled
Watching as sheer curtains,dance before a pale moonlight
I stay this way,alone and lost,trapped in the dark of night

Another sip is taken,a cigarette burns away unattended
Cheers to the scarlet liquid,and the sorrow that consented
To the time spent dancing my lips,on the rim of a crystal kiss
Freefalling tears so warm,how appropriate for times like this

Great lonely and sad write with the possiboity of love gone bad...Very expressive and emotive with some great metaphoric language used...Keep the creative pen flowing. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work..."The Wild Open Woods"...Sara
