Description The things I never learned from my teachers

Like how to drink and forget
Never looking back
As I let you remember me

Like how to whisper sugar one day
Acid the next
Ignoring the burning sores
On my seductive lips

Like how to weep your silent tears
Alone
Feeling what you refused

Like how to dance with awkward grace
Twisting, turning,
Rolling with the punches of the beat
Loosing myself in the song of your eyes

Drifting through the darkness
Hiding what I have seen
Letting you believe it was you that taught me

These are the things that we must learn on our own, unfortunately.

again, amazing but I have one little suggesting, see when you are talking about dancing and you say 'loosing' shouldnt it be 'losing'? I dont know maybe it is poetic liscence but everylittle helps, no? Besides the point this is another good thought provoking piece from my favourite DA artist. Im recommending you to my sisters
