11.18.11 (give/take)

i can't say i'm sad
though i do feel a bit empty
but these things often happen
and we'll both soon forget

i leave you quietly
in parting with a gift
a momento of the love i stole
sealed in the cracks of your chapped lips

i can't help what i have done
taken a piece of yours for my own
bit off more than you could chew
now your nights they have grown cold

and with this i take my leave
though i've lost equal what i've gained
i know i'll likely miss you
the next time that it rains
