about

Based off of M. Ward's song "Poison Cup", more specifically the line 'If love is a poison cup'.

Also, bragging time: if you read the first letter of every line going down it spells 'Down We Go Down We Go Go Go Oh Lord', which I like.

lyrics

“Don't,” and you lift it up.
Oh, your stupid impetuosity.
Wilt now, like a bespelled flower.
No more your face be decked in purity.

Were I to take the lead and take my leave,
entire galaxies in your eyes would burn and bleed and realign.

Good as new, or broken, blue, bent askew.
On shattered love I lie and say I knew.

“Don't,” and you lift it up.
Oh, if love really is a poison cup, then
wilt now, like a bespelled flower.
No more your heart your own to beat. No more.

What a shocker, that I would play the role of snake charmer;
every knight in armor mine to hold in ransom forever.

Gold or silver, just a sliver but your love has gotten under my fingernails.
Oh lord, just what that entails...

'Gone forever- be back soon' : what I'd like to say to you. But
one can't be too careful about the things you'd like to be true.

Good as new, or broken, blue, bent askew.
On shattered love I lie and say I knew.

Only for the best of reasons
have I misled myself about the meaning of the words I steal.

Laugh it up, little conscience, go on and bust a stay.
On shattered love I lie and say I knew.
Rigidly denying my guiltiness, I cut the rope
(down we go).
