The Phantom Club
I'm here to find my nightly addiction
A place
Visited by ghosts of distraction.
I look across the room to find one
To share my affliction.
I need to fill my glass, then
See you to grasp this shakening task.
I just want to taste your story
And spit out your charred ash.
Make me an offer
As I lean on your coffin
And sip from the glass
Of your lastest encounter.
Go ahead and touch me,
I tingle.
My memories thunder as
You slide off your mask,
But me? I'm transparent,
Remember?
I am lost in your tomorrows.
I'm drunk in islands of ecstasy borrowed,
Visiting your lonliness;
Pleasures that rot in
Glasses of bourbon on tables
Left not emptied.
In here, tell me stories
Of your mother,
And even less of your stolen dreams
That cause you to shudder.
Cuddle me in your sweaty blankets,
As you pound every regret
Between my bloodless
And brandished wishes.
I'm here to take my drink.
Hold me.
Lose me.
Pour me.
And I'm filled until the next longing
Unleashes my unquenchable thirst,
Into a crowd of phantom visions.
