A taste grows in my mouth,
the longer I stare,
like battery acid it pools,
At the sight of a loving father,
I find my stomach turning
I know it is but only my jealous heart,
This bitter taste so familiar,
sour it is indeed
I feel as if ill never heal this aching pain
of something I've never had
like an itch on an absent limb,
I have discovered,
nothing can quite scratch it right
