Your Kiss Tasted Like a Late-Night Regret

A cycle of poems «Your Kiss Tasted Like a Late-Night Regret»

Streetlights flicker, neon paints the rain,
Shadows in the silence, echoing your name.
Empty city corners, every memory set,
Tonight I taste the ashes of a late-night regret.

I thought our hearts could outrun the dawn,
But every promise faded, every feeling gone.

Your kiss tasted like a late-night regret,
Bittersweet and burning, impossible to forget.
We danced through the darkness, lost in the ache,
Every touch a memory I wish I could shake.

We laughed under covers, secrets in our eyes,
Dreams spun from silver, tangled up in lies.
You whispered forever, I tried to believe,
But morning found us empty, nothing up our sleeve.

I thought our hearts could outrun the dawn,
But every promise faded, every feeling gone.

Your kiss tasted like a late-night regret,
Bittersweet and burning, impossible to forget.
We danced through the darkness, lost in the ache,
Every touch a memory I wish I could shake.

Now I haunt the places where we used to go,
Your laughter in the distance, a ghost I can’t let go.
I trace the lines of longing, the words we never said,
Every step a reminder of the tears that we both shed.

If I could turn back time, would I do it all again?
Chasing fleeting comfort, knowing how it ends?
I’d hold you a little closer, but I’d still walk away,
Some lessons taste like poison, but we drink them anyway.

Streetlights flicker, morning breaks the spell,
I’m learning to forgive you, learning to forgive myself.
But your kiss lingers on, in the corners of my mind-
A late-night regret I’ll leave behind.
