Cold Taste

The taste of defeat is sour 

on a blood spread battle field

The feeling of drowning

clogs the softest of throats

and deep ripping regret 

tears at ones organs and thoughts

why must this feeling rake through me

like the thundering skies of Katrina

why must my longing heart drag me down

into the darkest of holes

and scratch at my every aching muscle 

"Let go, Let go"

The deep voices plow through my mind

As the sharp edges of Ds and Fs stab into my back

and the cold taste of regret is the only thing

I have to survive
