drink wine with me in the bathroom
red stains coating sweet lips
tonight,
i’m drunk on you
intoxicating highs
spinning the room
like a runaway disco ball
and
this bathtub is big enough for two bodies
tangle me in your vines and
make me forget the pain that comes with sobriety
weβll submerge ourselves
till the sun makes dusty tile sparkle
i wonβt remember a thing
except these soft purple
bruises
that pepper my skin
and taste like your touch
