You’re a black wine when I’m sober, the dirty thief/the owner, sarcastic/blue, the only thing that I don’t need is you. You’re the busy line when I’m calling, branch that breaks/falling, solid fence/stuck here, young actress/old queer. You had a starring role when I walked out of the way, you’re the fear in my bones when I’ve run out of nails, you’re a filthy liar when you know I need truth, the only thing that I don’t need is you. You’re the hard wind when my hat’s askew, hammering hand/screw, missing page at the end of my book, toxic corch in my bottle of booze, only one/need at least two, heavy rain through the hole in my shoe, you keep pulling my leg when I’m rooting for you, the only thing that I don’t need is you.
