I Still Taste You On My Lips
By Alex Snow
I sit here with the taste of you
Still on my lips
The smell of you
Still fresh in my nostrils
The feel of you
Still fresh on my skin
I still see your chocolate eyes
Staring into the depths of my soul
Entrapping my being
Captivated by all that was you
I still feel the electricity
Between us
Like fire in our veins
Two souls
Moving to the rhythm of their own passion
For a moment the world stopped
And it was just us
Entangled in each other
In a moment of pure bliss
That we thought would last forever
But forever didn’t come
What came were harsh words
And harsher actions
Things done in the feeling of betrayal
That only brought light to our own insecurities
About the assurance we found in each other
So we parted ways
With questions that have no answers
And no closure to be found
What do I do now
While you leave with this piece of me
That I haven’t before shared
How do I move forward
While I still feel this hole in who I am
Do I put on mask
Or wear this pain like a robe
Do I smile and pretend I am fine
Or allow myself the brokenness I feel
Every time you cross my mind?
