It won’t stop anywhere.

the acidic smell of love sends me in a vertigo your teeth feasting on my tongue I have let you in before I am letting you in again my arms are open, my chest is bare, my skin is in flames, my wine is sour my head is pounding for your touch I could hold [...]

Out for too long.
