Never again
Will I feel sweet supple lips that couple around mine a bitter kiss that I will miss
Never
Will I fall for your slick words and cherry lipstick the way you spark a small wick
Again
Melting wax on a candlestick your words trick sputtering flames to spit and lick
Never
Ceasing creeping flames inhabit the wood pipe of my habit an addiction to have it
Never again
Will you hold me; breathe out smoke in my ears slowly, warm a swarm your words
Never
Go unheard it’s absurd I can’t stop listening to what comes next, your allure
Again
I fall victim but be sure that this time my actions and words will ensure
That I say, “never again”
Never again
