Snake

You spit venom from your lips
Like a serpent
Youre a snake
And no, I insist!
Please pardon my haste
Im trying to remember
What it felt to feel the same
And I have yet to come across
Whom wouldve done it all again
Youre a whisper in silence
A hollow cocoon
Of a memory
A mere flicker in the darkest room
While others fall at my feet
You push me aside
Like you said you never would
Still, my emotions I hide
For fear of the loneliness
I push resentments aside
Take another step
Swallow my pride
Reaching, Searching for anything to comfort me
While you run from me
Slither back into your hole of indifference
Snake, Show me some semblance
Of the man I fell in love with.
