I taste misery on your lips–

I taste misery on your lips

but I willingly reach up

to swallow more of your despair.

We are in this fight together,

You and I will reach Nirvana together.

Braving the storms of euphoria,

I cry your name even when you

shun me away.

I cling to you even

as we tear each other apart.

You used to be the salve

that solved all,

but you took my love

and set that shit on fire.
