—A cocktail for something once worshipped, now whispered. Flavored like fading syntax and sugar lost to time.
The word was said. The meaning died.
But still, you spoke. You never lied.
The rum was bright, the lime was clean,
But something slipped in what it means.
Simple syrup traced the line
Of scripts erased by salt and brine.
You drank. The vowels flared and fell.
The consonants forgot to spell.
It tasted good. You said it right.
But no one heard you in the night.
A final word, a soft farewell,
To what was once
and never tells.
