Remember the nights we'd stay up
watching the tv and cursing
to the characters on MTv back
in school on the hijacked cable.
Those were the nights. We were together
and you were warm and soothing, taking
care of me, ending any of my questions
on whether or not you really wanted me.
I wanted you. Every day and every night
regardless of what the rest of them said,
I wouldn't give you up for anything. You're
the one that saves my life from them
every day you're there
comforting me
caressing my veins
with your warm tonic
and you're gone
"I'll buy another bottle tomorrow"
