Your words set like vile behind my eyes
Seeping slowly into my brain
Obscuring my vision of who I thought you were
Long warming thoughts of what was never to be
Permeating my memory with unpleasant aftertastes
Bleeding my final notes onto my bed sheets
Fast and hard like shooting stars
We burned out just as quickly
Leaving a trail of tears like ashes
Grasping fists and biting teeth
Joyful moans played out like the cello
All forgotten and betrayed
As you walk away happy and I’m left with the aroma of unrequited like love
