THE WAY YOU TASTE



You filled me with passion,
And a lie.
 Left me here stunned,
Asking why?

 The years have come
And gone.
 I felt, by your side,
That is where I belong.

 I feel so hopeless,
Deep inside.
 No where to run,
Nowhere to hide.

 We made an odd couple,
I believed you cared.
 You calmed the part of me,
That is scared.

 It gets lonely here,
In the unknown.
 I was just another,
Steppingstone.

 Fear and trauma,
Memories of the past.
 It was not love,
If it doesn't last.
       .
 My silence screams,
Aloud.
 No sunshine,
        Gray with clouds.

 My thoughts are heavy,
I stare into space.
 I can still remember;
        The way you taste.
