You poured gold — in the morning light

Spoke soft — like a secret spell

Laid your head — where my shoulder curved

Left a promise — too soft to tell

We kissed — where the curtains shimmered

Eyes closed — like we couldn’t see

Now the scent of you — still lingers

But it never — comforts me

You left salt in the honey —

Love,

Now it burns — where it used to melt

I still dream — in your colors

But they don’t feel — the way they felt

Your kiss still lingers — in echoes

Like a song — I can’t rewind

You left salt in the honey —

Love,

And it’s sweet — when I lose my mind

You wrote love — in the steam on glass

Then vanished — once it cleared

I trace ghosts — in the hallway light

But they never — come near

Every night — I fall slow and silent

Through the silk — of what we were

You made beauty — taste like aching

And I loved you — for the blur

You left salt in the honey —

Love,

Now it stings — when I say your name

I still hum — in your colors

Wrapped in heat — I can’t explain

Your touch still hums — through my body

Like a rhythm — out of time

You left salt in the honey —

Love,

And it’s sweet — when I lose my mind

There’s a rhythm — in the quiet

Where your heartbeat — used to be

And I hum it — just to feel you

Slip beneath — the memory

You left salt in the honey —

Love,

Now I’m numb — where I used to ache

I still bleed — in your colors

Even though — I know they’re fake

Your name still falls — like a rhythm

Like a song — my heart won’t let die

You left salt in the honey —

Love,

And it’s sweet — when I lose my mind.
