Senseless

The strong taste of her lips, I could never forget.
And as she holds me tight, my mind is surely set.
I want this forever, every morning and night.
Go to sleep with her warmth and wake up with her light.
From the glow of her hair and her cheeks and her smile,
I'm powered up and ready to run for miles.
But as she pulls away slowly, my lips, they are cold.
They're as cold as her stare that she's fighting to hold.
I don't know what's wrong or why in the first place,
But as I'm running these miles, I'm losing the race.
My heart belonged to you, and yours was to him,
Something not denied nor confirmed, but he wins.
He wins your strength and your beauty galore,
And I lick my lips to taste you once more.
The taste now so sour, alcohol and nicotine.
I've lost my calm, my cool, my serene.
You knocked me out cold, so senseless and dumb,
My emotions are stale and my feelings are numb.
As I watch you walk off among the air so cool,
He emerges from the background and I feel like a tool.
It was him all along when it could have been me,
But it took me so long, to realise and see
That I wanted you endlessly, perfect and mine,
I missed my chance and for your heart, he signed.
If I had not been so senseless, so blind and shy,
Your heart could be mine, together, you and I.
