Bitter Sips
I lay to waste
The sweetest lips
And drink to taste
The bitter sips
I close my eyes
To the beautiful face
And dream the lies
Away without a trace
I chose to stray
From the heart I hold
And put it away
Like the clothes we fold
I live with pain
From what I’ve done
And grasp in vain
Nothing under the sun….
