ON HER LIPS

 

“It’s over” she says 

her gown flare up as she walks off 

in awe I stood, immobile… transfixed 

those words from her lips

words smoothly flows out 

sailing into my core 

words, both bitter and sweet 

spiting me with soothing relief 

it keep resounding in my head 

like a canine flashing it fangs

I feel my whole world crashing 

a terrible and pathetic heartbreak 

not like this I once prayed 

it wasn’t suppose to be this way 

for we once made a vow 

to remain glued come what may

on those lips were once words 

words assuring and warming 

words like “I love you baby”

words like “I’d never leave you”
