Whiskey


Her heart was set on whiskey 
Though he was bourbon 
Tasted sweet but burned 
Intoxicated her soul 
Filled her veins with the liquor his body sold 
Even if she knew his presence would only get her high to make her low
He was a drug sweet and innocent 
Fully aware of the consequences she'd still sin for him 
Causing her slowly to drink her way through hell with every drop 
Love is tragic but this one's not
Chilled to the bone, rushed with adrenaline she was everything good for him 
Thoughts fought her mind 
She was slowly corrupted 
An internal battle she still won
Only to feel bitter till her soul bled 
Which was only half the punishment
for a hard head
All along the way she'd never heed the signs 
I guess this was just one for old times
