The Opening Taste

I never got to say goodbye

It's harder now that your away

I thought of so much more to say

You listened to it as you left

In other words couldn't hold my head

above the water for long enough to hear

your final wish is a lost cause to

anyone who heard above the din

I don't have time to dress it up

and all my thoughts come out at once

I loved you more than i could think

of any other thing that hurts

I will hold my head in the shame you dealt

and it wets my skin as I fall right in

with your conscience clear you can walk away

take it easy dear on my swollen skull
