There we were drunk and in love

Wine did not taste like wine anymore. You did not taste like you anymore.

We thought we understood and I believed you when you said,

I would die for you.

But then,

The bullet pierced my skin and everything ached.

Remember when you used to say,

I'll save you, I'll catch you when you fall.

I didn't know promises came with exceptions.

Who knew you were holding the gun?

Bleeding wine,

I said,

The bloodthirsty will survive. Good luck.
