Back to Black

It’s liquid death  
These thoughts of you  
Tobacco scented  
With a whiskey’d song  
To sing me home  
Into the empty arms  
Of a broken bed  
   
Where I dream of tears  
Carving pictures in my skin  
My face a landscape  
Of technicoloured memories  
Fading to black  
In my haunted  
Midnight reflection  
Like the kiss  
Of a self-fulfilling prophecy  
   
Drowning languid  
In the whiskey’d hymn  
Of lonely lies  
Among stagnant smoke  
Suffocating in the cold night air
