when I left,
the moment I set foot
in the depths of nihility
I found something
I have always craved for
within the guts of my soul
a feeling I never felt
in the vicinity
of your manipulation
an actualization
with bursting colors
and oozing aftertaste
a sensation that hurts
before the pleasure kicks in
and dominates your whole being
something not even the gods
could bless me with
I have seen it face to face
as tears forced itself out
its beauty blinds
anyone that touches it
s e l f - l o v e
I have forsaken you.
