Bitter Tears - NiExshadow
You left your sweater on the chair like it might crawl back to you
I drink cold coffee in the dark, I let the night taste me
Neighbors talk loud through the wall like broken news that never stops
My phone lights up with nothing like it knows I am empty
I trace your name on the table with this shaking water ink
It disappears so easy and I hate how real that thing is
Bitter tears on my tongue, on my pillow, on my ears
Bitter tears in my mouth, every doubt, every fear
You were my summer in a plastic cup now cracked and clear
All I taste, baby, all I taste
Bitter tears
Your ghost sits quiet on the sink where your toothbrush used to lean
I talk to mirrors in the hall, ask who I am without your keys
Streetlights flicker on my face like they are trying not to cry
I scroll our photos till the pixels blur, tears now forget me
I keep your text like matches I will never strike again
Afraid of all the fire and afraid of the cold same then
Bitter tears on my tongue, on my pillow, on my ears
Bitter tears in my mouth, every doubt, every fear
You were my storm in a paper frame now smeared and smeared
All I taste, baby, all I taste
Bitter tears
Bitter tears
