lover was the one who first poured
honey into your mouth
lover left you and went
a w a y
but lover left a taste in your mouth
and you only know one
way how love must taste like
even if you accidentally let your
tongue take a sip
when lover calls you beautiful
your day is always good no matter what
when lover slides his hand quietly
behind your back while you both
walk at the mall
you feel like a queen
when lover kisses you
you melt into all the stages of women
you had been once before
lover left
lover is gone
but lover is not
g o n e
and every man who has
come after lover
looks like lover
walks like lover
smells like lover
eats like lover
sleeps like lover
baths like lover
lover lives in all of them
and they don’t understand why
because when lover went away
lover forgot to carry away the
taste in your mouth
and it doesn’t matter
who brings what and when
everything tastes honey
and you will still
convince yourself again
anytime somebody pours anything
in your mouth
it could be vinegar
but you will say
this wine taste like lover’s
stop killing yourself
