black on black

i can't stop saying stupid-ass things
to save my life
i couldn't fly right if i had wings
christ all the good and pure
things
i take for granted
piss away
like too much lite beer
in too short a time
a semi-decent buzz then it's gone
still you come along
for one fucked-up ride
one more invitation
to come inside
because i say i need you
and i do
and in the moments we're one
making love on cool black sheets
freshly washed
like i wish my mind
could be
i know i love you as much as i'm
capable
but no one's minding the store
and what's more
i'm afraid the black
isn't just what
was on sale
somewhere
once
but a metaphor
