A kiss beneath anaesthetic.

A KISS BENEATH ANAESTHETIC
sneak

A kiss beneath anaesthetic,
Xmas mistletoe long dead.
Expressing love and loathing -
in someone else's bed.
My alcoholic angel.
Tonight we fly by wire,
as new year resolutions -
undoubtedly expire.
Drinking in the new year,
throwing up the past.
We'll make pathetic promises -
that we know will never last.
We'll fall apart at midnight -
in lecherous company.
I'll stare into your red eyes -
and reveal a weaker me.
A blurred diluted figure -
attached to a life on drip.
A trail of devastation -
as we slowly lose our grip.
Happy New Year baby
Paint a smile tonight for me?
Shine in desperation.
Eat, drink and be merry.
Do everything you shouldn't.
Talk of love and take my hand.
We'll stagger on defiantly -
to our broken promised land.
