This bottle stripped me of my charm
A kiss to entertain
Puckered lips echoing every arm
Still streaked and stained
With each old shame
So I've snatched your building blocks
And built a wall to ward you off
Each piece deserves a new refrain
With a stageplay masquerading pain
Every shake, every scorn
That gives love like ours a reason to be born
So I'll siphon your books and wring out every page
To find a resentment more fitting for girls my age
What else could you want?
What else could you need?
But our love lives on to clip its claws
While rusted shut in dresser drawers
That we've thrown shut and drawn the shade
Until the ambience behaves
