kiss your soul
for it's as sweet as the taste
you've been looking for.
the only one who can love you
more than you will ever know
stands before you in a mirror.
~
clouded, the cold floor
of the restroom where you've drawn a hot bath
to soften your already so soft skin.
it's also where i'd slowly then undress you
and wait for you to gracfully step in.
~
as you gaze into your own reflection,
you remember hearing me say
" i promise you i won't leave you,
i promise you i'll stay "
~
a tear gather's in the corner
but you hold it pretty well,
so you continue what you were doing,
and you let your hair down,
you slip out of the robe,
and stand before your naked frame
and you imagine my hands that touched you,
and you can feel it just the same
~
the ringing telephone,
your friends they try to cheer you up
but you dare not answer because you know
they cannot mend a broken love
and you cry unto your mirror
and you ask over again
"lord why'd you take my soul mate"
but, you're left in lonely silence.
