It does not age well like wine oct 7, 2024

  

what is it we live for

 if we do not take what

 we need or want what

 do we save our virginity

our innocence

 kept locked up

 secluded

 until it turns to rust or dust well

more worthy men than me

 lust after it

dying  from want

 drying up for thirst

This is illusion we harbor

inside our chests. disguised

 a false prophet

 a deluded belief

we can keep it for

the perfect soul

when none such exists

 come down off the pedesta

l so we might look or touch or take

this is not like wine

that grows richer with age

 we must drink this up from

the first dip of our cups

 to become inebriated

 before it loses all virtue
