Description
There is a ghost in my mouth and it tastes like you.I am clinging to the past with an iron grip
the past is you
and the present is you
and the future was supposed to be youβ
See, I wanted to swallow you but couldn't.
Instead I left you in my throat.
Instead, I broke our hearts for years,
gagged on your name but never spilt it into the toilet.
I couldn't, I couldn't. I'm sorry.
Purgatory tastes like holding on.
Purgatory tastes like I lost you.
I am exorcizing you because you deserve to be more
than mist on the back of my tongue.
I hope he makes you whole in a way I couldn't.
