the sweet taste over my tongue
drip from my mouth
yet i long for more
intoxicating me
blurring my judgement
tasting so sweet
yet so bitter at the back of my throat

my heart burns for you
yet i am left alone
in the dark
as my heart becomes just embers of the roaring fire it once was
extinguished by the cold plunge  
of the unrequited love
of your love for someone
who is not me...

i knew what i was destined to do,
to be,
to see
the surface of the water had broken
splattering liquid across the lakes surface
causing more and more ripples  
making my impact
only to slowly drift away losing momentum
slowly one day being forgotten...
making the water clear once again.
