X.

Of all the faces in the world,
Yours was the one I never forgot.
Of all the sensations I’ve ever come to feel,
Your kiss was most severe.
You were never mine,
And I could never be yours.
But when I closed my eyes,
It was so for that time.

Your temper and words,
Would reduce me to tears,
But to watch you go,
Was the worst torture of all.

I consider it lucky,
To have your scars on my arms.
But the wounds in my heart,
Are what tore me apart.
