Replacement

The heart of a lover,

eyes of a cheater.

Stomach of the deprived,

longing for a taste that is sweeter.

 

The smile of a friend,

hands of a traitor.

Embrace of the lost,

words of an agitator.

 

Pink of a flower,

innocence of the skies.

Bliss of ignorance,

hidden behind blind eyes.

 

Laughs of melancholy,

sweet becoming bitter.

Singing like a sparrow,

in a melodic twitter.

 

Leaving marks on my back,

the nails of a replacement.

Voice of an angel,

my heartbreak encasement.
