JUST A TASTE!

i put my heart on a silver platter

set the table and lit the candles

gave you a fork and a knife

only for the reminder

you decided it didn't matter

i come back to find it still beating

bleeding on the fine china

chair empty and utensils clean

no note for me to find

you know

i don't care if you

just weren't hungry

or not craving the taste

of copper today

but to leave me stranded

wondering why

yet another person

didn't even try a taste

i've done all i can do

i barely gave you anything to chew

yet you still left it all untouched

another one bites the dust

i'm asked why i don't keep trying

to see when you'll bite

but to take my heart out of my chest

every single time

has become too much to ask

from a woman who can't relive the past
