Negronis y Martinis

There's something you need to know about me
I'm right-handed but
When I smoke I do it
With my left

You should also know that I'm not
A raft but
I can rock you
Whenever you want

I keep the scars as if they were new
But they've been here for thirty years
Touch them right where it should beat

There's something you need to know about me
Most of the time I've searched
For what was missing in you

Always climbing your trunk without
Understanding that the only tree
I can climb is within me

I feel my bark rough and full
Of initials
Inside hearts
That someone once carved

I have so many names
Written inside
That I've forgotten how they look
All their bodies

My branches every time
Want less
My thoughts are just leaves
None are true

There's something you need to know about me
I've tried to hide
But what you have before you is me

If you want to stay to sleep you'll have
To hug me whole
With all the parts I lost
