Violet Kiss
Long-lasting kisses in the dark
Eyes closed
To keep it reverberating within
Sweet sunrises on your right
Until it fades into reality
Only a short perfect illusion for the hungry
Never getting too close
Too close for comfort
I see the fear in your eyes
What you tried, oh, so hard to hide
To stop ourselves from becoming numb
Just strangers
With the same greed
To be touched, to be held
Never crossing the line
But when disdain comes in the way
Is my cue to leave
Only have pity for the emotionless
On the high ground now
The high ground is my holy region
Until I go higher
Yes, I admit
I still overthink now
Head in my hands
Between my knees
But I don’t let the demons eat at me
Any longer
Than more than one train ride
Never authorizing entry to the parasites
Is when I let my breathing go back to normal
Let my heart cool
And transfer to the next ride
On time
Never late
Never keeping the expired wine in the fridge for too long
No use other than for
My next home cooked meal of the day
There isn’t just The One
Our lives are filled with many The Ones
The One that got away
The One who was my karmic soul mate
Meant to never be together
The One, the first
of innocence and purity
shared and lost
The One, the weak and meek
Selfish to their comfort
The One, to stay away from
Taught me how to tell
Right from wrong
To not fall for people like you
The One, the stranger hidden in the shadow of the night
Left my violet kiss on your heart
Let it stay on your mind as it allows tonight
Let the notes of the piano be burned in your memory tonight
