Lemonade

by @penny-winter

And oh, how sweet, the words you speak, they taste. How soft they blow, how sure they flow; no haste. An old eclipse, how slow, your lips -- they part. So young, naive, quickly deceived, my heart. How warm, your eyes, they hypnotize my soul. And how I miss the touch, the kiss, you stole. So sure was I that you'd be my first love. But love's a thing we know nothing thereof. Foolish of me to fall so deeply in. How long I thought your smile was not a sin. And oh, how used, how scared, confused, my trust. Feelings so shy, that you deny, 'tween us. How ruefully, our memories, they fade. How bittersweet our love; like lemonade. - p. winter
