I can taste the sweetness melt on my tongue,
I can nearly taste your kiss, feel your breath,
it's so sickeningly sweet it could almost rot my teeth.

I could feel the burning light on my back,
overshadowing my figure, I lowered my head in defeat,
I could only trace the black contour of my frame,
with my eyes, I tried to feel the brightest star.

as I helplessly headed towards a long day,
only to come out in the dark, with my shoulders deflated,
surrounded by silent walking figures, and crowds having a fit.
When I finally severed my tie with the outside world, the noise, the commotion,
I walked towards the dark, avoiding the lights, the lamposts,
I looked up. I could only see them in the dark.

I lifted my head, way high up, unusually,
I could almost lose my balance, and lose all of it.
They were calling out for me,
but my voice isn't strong enough to reach them.
