morphine

cheap tears and wine,
a vodka of raindrops.

a gun in the head -
a silly escape.

morphine, my heroin,
save me.

make-up and cherry-red lipgloss,
black eyeliner and barefoot.

(naked in your eyes)

do that silly dance again
& make me smile.

a sad song on the radio,
another tragedy in melody.

(there she goes, there she goes again)

there's laughter at his funeral &
a death cab for the pretty in pink.

gorgeous rainbows,
a promise under the sun.

another nightmare in the head,
i guess it was just for a little fun.

wake me up when nothing is real
and i'll kiss you goodnight.

say hello to your dreams,
conflicting and asinine.

morphine, my heroin,
save me.
