Your taste lingers when I’m alone
I feel the epitome of you roam free within me
But as hard as I try, I fall behind you
Why won’t you look back?
Please, please turn around
Proof that you are fearless
Is the fact that when you turned and walked away
You didn’t recoil even for a second
Just to see the love in my eyes one last time
Why before I gave you the explanation of my actions
Hadn’t I kissed you?
Even now I remember that morning
Knowing I’d never kiss or embrace you again
So the taste of you still lingers when I’m alone
And I just wish that taste could be replenished
Like a battery in a truck
My lights are on but the engine in my chest has stopped
And soon your taste will die
But if only I had the energy of you
Like a rose that hasn’t yet withered on the first snow of winter
I turn from a red-hot passion to a pallid ivory
As the icy flakes collect on my petals
I become solid white
Like a carcass in a mortuary
I am frozen forever in the realm between here and there
All by myself
With the action of you never turning back
Stuck on repeat in my mind
