For those who never tasted love
I once tasted love, and remember
It was as bitter as
This rancid air that I breathe
For those who never tasted hope
I tasted hope, and remember too
That it was as vile as
This poisoned earth that I walk
For those who never tasted faith
I then tasted faith, and I recall
It was as putrid as
These stagnate pools that I wade
For those who never tasted warmth
I have tasted warmth, I remember
That it was as cold as
The freezing life that I lived
For those who never tasted life
I taste death and feel its warm embrace
That holds me closer than
The promise life ever made
For those who never tasted death
Taste it
Swallow it
Love it.
Dark but still a masterpiece. I must read more of your work. This one has captured my curiosity.
