Bitter Soul

Bitter Soul

wine

on lips

parallel

lines on my face

unrequited kiss

ennui of sweet and dark

hidden deep within my heart

black shadows linger in my mind

genie in the bottle is released

as lightning flashes against the night sky

Where are you? What are you doing to me?

It is far too late to change the past

as we race toward the finish

my heart bleeds from intense pain

and words have no meaning

walk the path alone

as twilight fades

bitter soul

losing

hope.
