This Kiss

My teeth, my lips, my gums
Ache from the pressure I've put on them.
I've been biting my time…
But this embrace seems clumsy in your mouth.
I've missed the way you taste,
The way your hands feel upon my face.
Oh how can falsity build favor?

I watched you as you knelt before me
Cried before me
Pleaded with me…
"Baby don't leave- don't leave me this way."

But your breath is filled with lies
And the tears streaming down your cheeks
Saturate the fears I carry deep inside.
Darling, I've promised my soul to yours
I waited all this time and
So I give you mercy with this kiss
My tongue holds your forgiveness.
