I took a sip

     Swallowed

   The taste lingered

Like the bitter hollow

       Feeling of being

    Empty

An aftertaste

        Nearly unbearable

    With a hint

    Of faded passion

Played out

       Behind layered velvet

     Hidden from society

But disclosed

        To every individual

     Absorbing

Another fatal attraction

         He thinks I don't know

    I know

I just don't want to

       And the only decent compromise

    Is pressed in between

Two oxidized acids

       Trapped inside a glass

   Confident pressure

Can YOU digest?

Because I wouldn't drink from that

Interesting take on failed love, better know as fatal attraction, because by the time it is over there has been a bloodletting. Maybe not real blood, but even that sometimes.

Sounds like Jack Daniels, straight up. Cool write.
