He taught me how to sing

He taught me how to sing,
He gave me the voice I have now,
He put the syllables in my mouth,
Made me wrap the words with my tongue,
Taste the sweetness it left behind,
He taught me how to sing,
Made me feel like someone was clenching my heart,
Made me feel like someone was pulling words out of my mouth,
Made me feel the tears streaming out of my eyes as if someone was ripped away from me
Only that someone was him.
He taught me how to sing,
But singing won’t wake him up.
He taught me how to sing,
So I’m singing.
I’m singing like my life depends on it.
He taught me how to sing,
But can he even hear me?
Can he hear how desperate I am?
With every song,
With every I love you,
A monster claws at my throat,
Screaming these lyrics,
These words that you taught me to put in my mouth,
These words in which are the sweet candy,
Leaving a bitter aftertaste in the same mouth you kissed
As my eyes well up with tears,
Remembering that you taught me how to sing.
