I have tasted your absence. It is bitter – it clings between my teeth and burns the roof of my mouth. **** you for showing me what I had always longed for and then letting it slip away. There’s an endless river of hatred in my heart, and it infuriates me that a single sentence could turn it back to love.

Taste of absence
I have tasted your absence. It is bitter – it clings between my teeth and burns the roof of my mouth. **** you for showing me what I had always longed for and then letting it slip away. There’s an endless river of hatred in my heart, and it infuriates me that a single sentence could turn it back to love.
