the melancholy

Posted on Saturday, June 06, 2009

Static beneath my feet
Restlessness before i sleep
Emptiness as i retreat

The great divide between heart and mind

Pausing to catch my breath
Irritated in this dress
Should have stayed longer in retrospect

Why did you come outside?
Could you tell i bit my words all night?
Blinded by such a sight

I look inside and see damaged pride

It was a contradiction at its best
As i kissed down another's chest
Seduction laced with bitter regret

An aftertaste of sweet distaste

So i commit to memory the details of your face
Those perfect lips and how they taste
And into you i pour my faith
