A Sour Taste

Trusting my heart
Not seeing the pain
Blinded by desperation
Once drove me insane.

Haunted by scars
Memories of the past
Afraid opportunities passing
Decisions made in rush.

Falling too hastily
For lust yet not love
Karmas twisted pay back
A joke from above.

Denying the truth
So I taste the sorrow
Still foolishly hoping
For a better tomorrow.

The potion of love
Bittersweet I know
The poison of loneliness
Is killing my soul.
