We were sweat-drunk, tangled in bedsheets, out of breath, out of minds, out of time. Not-watchin’ Netflix on repeat I laughed till I cried ‘cause you were mine. Window wide open; the night leaning in, we heckled the stars for a sign; marriage-or-death kinds of bargains, forever swallowed like wine. God, we were kids with apocalypse hearts, Writing vows in the steam on your car. What the hell did we know? We carved our stupid names in the oak. We swore we’d outrun every disaster; I wish we were better forecasters. Turned forever to a punchline, a dare; grew older but still gasping for air. That night was a prayer no one could answer fireworks, smoke, and the rent due after. God, we were dumb… and I miss it so much. Now love is polite; timers and dishes, soft smiles rehearsed to behave. Nothing burns like that fevered religion, that holy mistake by your place. Grown and without my own white knight; truth tastes like iron on lips. Forever worked best with no foresight a sacrament savage and bliss. Sweet lies still slick my lips when I’m close; my holy overdose. What the hell did we know? We drank each other till we were soaked. We swore we’d outrun every disaster; I wish we were better forecasters. Turned forever to a punchline, a dare; grew older but still gasping for air. That night was a prayer no one could answer; fireworks, smoke, and the rent due after. God, we were dumb… and I miss it so much. Meant it, meant it! You ruined me gently! Your whisper, your touch; oh, that’s what sent me! Laid in the grass and promised the sky; always-forever cherish that lie. Sand in my toes, your hand in mine; We thought we had nothin’ but time Naked, laughing, out-of-tune choir, we crowned the night and fed the fire. What the hell did we know? Kissed like we were on death row We swore we’d outrun every disaster; I wish we were better forecasters. Turned forever to a punchline, a dare; grew older but still gasping for air. That night’s still a prayer I can’t forget; echoes, ash, and unpaid debts. God, we were dumb… but I’d do it again. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ © 2025 The Badfatler All rights reserved.
