the burn that bites

back of the throat

making it easier

for one more

trying to wash away

not bitterness

no foaming rage

just disappointment

in the lack of will

leading to

easy betrayal

because it was there

got offered

leading to this feeling

nothing had

meant anything

when it gets

so easy tossed away

& disappointment

in myself

for fooling myself

that this one

was worth the time

one more please
