Taste

15 1 1
                                    

The tingle on my tongue,
The sparks that dance around the glass of rum.
How can I give you up?

That taste,
Embedded into my brain,
The only thing that ticks around my mind.

It's not pleasant,
It's not sweet.
It's actually awful,
It's spiteful!

But I endure it all,
For the promises,
The drink has whispered to me.

All the secrets it tells me,
At the strike of midnight.
