Self-Mortification
March 15, 2012
No sweetness. The luxurious lingering of sweetness too soon
Sours to dismay, rankling memories of sins past and present.
So I sip wearily at the cup of dark coffee, bitter to the verge of tears,
To banish the cloying sweetness, to burn the taste buds away.
I know I will regret the loss of taste in days to come, but for now,
Shedding old pain for new, I drink myself to oblivion.
