A Kiss

I could kiss you like I used to 
But it wouldn't be the same 
These lips wear too many battles 
A teasing tongue can't win the game. 

You could kiss me like you used to 
But it wouldn't taste as sweet 
The years have beaten the ego 
An empty soulless treat. 

Still we insist on existing 
And playing out this game 
Not dead but very nearly 
A fruitless, heartless shame. 

I could kiss you like I used to 
But it wouldn't be the same 
Your lips are like a stranger 
The taste is all that remains.
