The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Sleeping Alone With Cigaritte Smoke

A tiny wall with four walls and a 
weak smile which finds me.
I watch romantic movies pretending 
that someone may sit beside me.
A young flower which would add a 
fire to my cold life..

The type of princess you marry while 
she becomes a queen overnight..

And when I would wake I would find 
her holding me tight. 
As if she never wanted morning to 
come and forever for it to become 
night.
Yet such hopes for me are a lie.

As I watch movies on a cold 
November night.
Pretending the tv dinner was the 
greatest gift alive.
