lips bent in borrowed happiness

all caution thrown in the wind

oblivious, delirious amid the mess

the layers between bodies thinned

all caution thrown in the wind

last night’s heels hang by a wrist

the layers between bodies thinned

head wanted, heart refused to resist

last night’s heels hang by a wrist

bittersweet taste of sweat and gin

head wanted, heart refused to resist

flames rise as the lights are dimmed

oblivious, delirious amid the mess

flames rise as the lights are dimmed

    Fantastic. Ambiguous enough to give mystery but also the emotions and tension and shame is palpable. Great stuff Cristal
