Holy Wine


Holy Wine
By: Ann A. Straut 6/24/09

You’re in my blood like holy wine
I just can’t get you off my mind
Memories of you so bittersweet
Fill my veins with remembered heat

Whatever happened to you and me
Memories paint us being happy
Living laughing filled with joy
Everyone, everything our personal toy

Time goes on, we grow jaded
Hate, lust, fear have all faded
What’s left is painted with fairy dust
Left there so you don’t see the rust

Happiness, joy wasted on youth
Who can’t comprehend the simple truth
A life filled with too many lies
And so many people you love just die

And round the circle we go again
In the emotional tide that never ends
Never speaking what’s on our minds
Hearts beating, life’s been unkind

You’re in my blood like holy wine
I just can’t get you off my mind
Memories of you so bittersweet
Fill my veins with remembered heat
