Fingerprints

this bitter pill you have swallowed
washing it down, the hardest part
the taste left in your mouth reminds you
your smile is so brittle, your teeth are so angry
your eyes tell it better than words ever could
i thought sincerity once resided here
it’s been vacated, abandoned, decided,
your lifting corners of what has been swept aside
it is with regret that i inform you
you have failed with frail deceptions
it is with regret that i inform you
you left behind your fingerprints
this bitter pill that you have swallowed
washing it down was the hardest thing to do you hope to see a fall from grace
what has been done, i can never forgive or forget
it is with regret that i inform you
you have failed with frail deceptions
it is with regret that i inform you
you have left behind your fingerprints
(i could never forgive you)
