i once taught your fingertips 

the formation of 

guitar chords like 

E minor and G 

i once tasted your lips 

the subtle flavor of 

spice and fizz

from food and soda

i once loved your sleepy voice

the amusing sound of 

your struggle to stay awake 

but not saying good night 

i once heard you make your choice

the haunting words of 

sadness and confusion 

that broke a piece of 

me
