My lips have forgotten you,

your love is past tense

My desire has wilted away

so my heart has judged

After all, the kisses born on that rendezvous

where blown away…

No, it's not that I want to elude you,

It's that you no longer exist within me

It was your betrayal,

your suffocating rendition,

cold mornings between my sheets,

the disguised lie

There was no response to the heart...

Today, I agree that we were mistaken

Your love darkened,

You killed the passion we had…
