Disappointment
I had a taste of disappointment today
It was bitter, foul on my tongue
It helped me to sink further into my self-inflicted misery
It left me somewhere between
Telling myself it’ll be ok
And believing I’m stupid to be feeling anything at all
I had a taste of disappointment
It was possibly the worst thing I could have ingested
And you gave me the spoon with which I could eat it
But you ate some too
And I love you anyway
We tasted disappointment
But we know it’ll digest eventually
And we understand that sometimes we’ll have to endure
That obscene taste again
And that disappointment is not the end
Just something to cringe at, consume, and move on from
