taint
your tongue was an instrument
it made my heart dance
your hands were strings
that controlled my every step
your words were meaningless
feeding every second chance
your promises were lies
just dry words left unkept
your games went on and on
piling in unbridled hair
your lips were full of resonance
memories heavy on my chest
your voice was the rain
soft and solacing like a prayer
your presence lingered on
but in time i was to rest
i can never love you
i can never reach you
-d.m.
