You Can Never Return
That night I fell upon your floor
Intoxicated by the midnight air
You pushed me through your door
Running your fingers through my hair
You were as fast as lightning
While I lay there in slow motion
I didn’t push you away
You took something you can never return
Ripping me apart
Blinding me with words
You whispered in my ears
Did I give you the illusion
This was what I wanted?
Did my body say something
My mouth could not convey?
Whilst I lay motionless
Upon your mattress
Under the weight of you
On top of me
My soul cried out in agony
Mourning the last ounce
Of childhood innocence
You took away from me
