Your lips look oh so lovely
I can almost feel that kiss
It takes not much remembering
All the little things I miss
But mine have been defiled?
The answer we both know
i failed to keep the promise
Of never letting go
The fragrance of your cheek
And the corners of your mouth
The motions of your squeeze
And your unforgettable pout
The years we spent with twisting
(Two lives nearly as one),
The love we shared, and wishing
Our broken past was done.
This morning, I did wallow
And entertain the pain
The wonder of that feeling
While knowing I'm to blame
Now none but our own memory
Hold silent blackened years
Of time and all our history
Love tainted by our fears.
Now your flesh, your face: it's haunting
I bet you're full aware
Only you could take me down
With that artificial stare
Silent and provoking
Innocent with intent,
The blades in which to cut myself
Propped up by your resent.
It's truly revolting to know
I can find your face with his
And stab myself on any day
With a blade of locked lips
The ugly truth is peaceful
When sitting in it's place
Until I strike a visit
To stare it in the face.
A face that cuts me open
Despite my hardened shell
Despite the time that's passed
Despite being saved from hell
O, woe to me is gone
Worn out and scraped away
What's left is empty thoughts
Of life already played
