It was love at first sight.

I saw through the crowd, sat there like the cat looking at king, the beauty.

Sweet bewilderment, how long had it been?

Years ago id been filled and fooled by the amber princess.

Told me to trust her, one more night. what hurt could it do?

Take me away from this reality, let me come and live in yours?

But slowly, she took everything from me. The more time I spent with her the less friends would call.

The late nights and early mornings with her. My family stopped coming by.

My bank balance sank lower each night we would dance together.

She took my money, almost every penny. Until I was broke.

And when I could no longer pay, she left me.

Holding my head in painful day light.

Piecing together the last of my memories with her.

The harder I held on the further shed slid.

I saw her there, across the bar.

She was with another man now.

My amber princess, the demon drink.

Whiskey.
