Here and then gone.
Love me or love me not.
Your partner then your pawn.
Left as nothing but a thought.

Drowning then saved.
A gasp of air just to go under.
Lungs full and air again craved.
Pulled deeper what a wonder.

An inconsistent taste now.
& the aroma of sweet lies.
Heard is the break of a vow.
& felt are the screams and cries.

Wanting me then no more.
So much of myself wasted.
Denying the truth in my core.
You were the best thing I should have never tasted.
