Drunk off of Life

The sun rises above the Vinyards
Bleeding warmth
And promising a new day ahead
To be enjoyed like wine
To be drunk off of life
That the sun provided

Los Angeles

This untrusting city
Bleeds in Oil
On the concrete

That is all that there is

Too cold to be content
Too busy to pay attention
To those who are broken

It will cut you open
Without turning back
Then press salt into the wounds

Warmth absent
So she ran off to cry
And as she did
With that last glance
The plates on his car
Illuminate
with a neon show
That say

Their minds raced with how pretty they were
Atop the wedding cake

They sat and spoke
Sipped on spirits in crystal
Perfectly square
