Poison and Wine

July 13, 2012

For the first period of time I listened to it, it sounded like a painful choice. Choosing love amidst much hurt and distrust. But perhaps what it is, is hope. The choice of love and waiting for the better of your other half to come out. Despite the selfishness we find ourselves operating in, we choose again to love. "I don't have a choice--I still choose you." As if the commitment has been made so technically, your "I do" has sealed it and you don't really have a choice. But you do, you do, and you still choose him. And this is why the song is so beautiful.
