What hurts most inside, something in your face, eyes open wide, all you need to know, no longer drums like rain, my lover’s brow furrows, a sweetheart's lies, I see you look away, speechless turn aside, a million ways to show, absolve myself of blame, nowhere else to go, warlike in your cries, a pirate on the Main, the barometer on its slide, drink away my woes, like I once jumped bail, whisky face aglow, I’ll try to step aside, maybe go to Spain, don’t ask for reasons why, pretend it’s all game.
