The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

The Finest Wine

His sting is like whiskey,
and when he's around everything becomes misty and I so anxiously just want him to kiss me,

Don't worry I know I'm living in a fantasy,
but in my dreams he's all I can see,
I repeat, his sting is like whiskey.

But to him I'm the finest wine,
a delicate flower that was pure and divine,
as a result and over time,
the darkness took something she claimed "mine,"

It took her soul; but to him I'm the finest wine.
But to him I'm the finest wine, 
so sweet and kind,
someone who fell victim to a web of lies,

and no more tears for him can I cry,
I can only sigh because I shouldn't have tried to go against the universe 
and defy,
but STILL his sting is like whiskey and to him,
I'm STILL the finest wine.
