and this is where it begins
with a stolen kiss and a laugh
that simple joy that breaks a heart
and renders one defenseless

to the oncoming slaughter
of emtotion, tasteless devotion
take that first look
given from the lips, this lust

is a colorless poison that injects
tasteless without a sensation
but surely, it's so very deadly
this is what a kiss cost me.
