Love In A Bottle

 

My love is like an open bottle:

Empty and dry

For someone drank all of my sweet wine

Long, long ago...

And it was drunk for all the wrong reasons,

Gulped carelessly

When it was supposed to be sipped.

And now no one can be enticed

By putting my open mouth to their lips

.

If only I could by full again!

So that when I find a man

Dying of thirst

He would be able to sip tenderly

The sweet wine from my bottle...
