Patterns Poem by Maya Hanson

Drink from me and you might regret it
Spill this cup before you're halfway through
A taste of me and you're reeling dizzy
It wasn't an accident, I'd spill me too

So give me blessings, write on my scars
These drugs are worth all my weight in love
So paint my patterns, draw on my walls
These drugs are worth all my weight in love

Kiss my past with a shoe-shined smile
But let it go when we've toasted and cried
Sweet symphonies to spin us faster
I don't blame you for drinking this lie

So give me blessings, write on my scars
These drugs are worth all my weight in love
So paint my patterns, draw on my walls
These drugs are worth all my weight in love

Legends only leave behind a name etched in stone
Flames in my breath and a house on fire
I'm not a legend but I'll carve your name
And I'll evaporate to lift you higher

So give me blessings, write on my scars
These drugs are worth all my weight in love
So paint my patterns, draw on my walls
These drugs are worth all my weight in love
