Taste

I have masticated your love
for years and many more
sometimes fast to never last
and slow before it could grow
It was luscious before
Now it feels insipid
My gums ache for days
My cavities reek of rubber
But I cannot take a break
and I cannot throw it out
neither can I swallow it
Sometimes I feel it isn't there
but there it is in denial
and I know it is a redundancy
and I know my redundancy
Flavors that are gone in haste
If my tongue can taste
and I keep on asking myself
why I don't feel hunger
Why don't I crave for
something else now
My hunger is in satiation
and I don't remember
what I had tasted before
