Not once did your name roll off my tongue while I was lost in the depths of my consciousness.

To whom do you call your lover

For I too have tasted the bittersweet liquor.

As my liquid heart becomes one with the rest of myself, my heart, body, mind and spirit are all one.

A mixture of hope, love, suffering, regret, pain, lust, remorse and pride are within me.

They leak through my soul, a dripping, murky, beautiful mess

Soon lust and love are confused

Hope and pain are the same

Until I know no different

My emotions are open and closed, anger spilling through the open doorway and grief still bottled up within.

There is no way out
I am drunk on the lover whom I thought was my own

Stolen from my consciousness by
The same person
Who calls me their own

But not once did I call your name in the sweetest of ways

Not once did I call it at all

Your obsession with myself is as bad
As the liquor
That killed the movement of my parted lips
And silenced the pitter patter of my feet

With which I first found my lover
