The pain of leaving you is creeping in, Am I detoxing the opiates in your skin? My fractured heart is in its mould Held together with hopes turned cold. The time will come for it to thaw And expose the damage from a love so flawed. As it crumbles it will take its bow, For it's only to blame for the state it's in now.

The End.
Maybe one day we’ll meet again, When our hearts are finally free. And I’ll hold you close right till the end Baby, just wait and see.

I really don’t blame you For expecting the worst. When the friends I thought true, Could see my name cursed. But I am no threat, I am not poison. And I will not let The lies that they’ve chosen Get under my skin, Or seep into my blood. Because I know that within, My heart is good. There is no motive, There is no plan. So please forgive What you think I am.

Truths
Baby I just wanna get drunk A little something to get me outta this funk Maybe get some smoke into these lungs Laugh at terrible jokes and finger guns Play some old records that I hate While you tell me why they’re so great Get freaked out at how fast time goes I’ll fall asleep on the floor in my clothes Just a chilled night, nothing crazy I just wanna get drunk with you baby

Vodka/Peach/Cranberry
I could try to weave Or mince these words, Through gritted teeth So it won’t hurt, Oh if only you had, dear, When you dripped poison In my ear. You broke out my ghosts And let them play, So what I loved most Was stripped away. But I won’t cower from their laughter, See death is first And life comes after. I wish I could say You didn’t leave a mark, But I’ll get through the day And I’ll embrace the dark. And when your kingdom crashes down Don’t expect me To be around. See I’m carelessly cautious, I’m Completely incomplete, And isn’t it obvious And isn’t it sweet. I’m exactly how you wanted, I’m not yours But I’m still haunted.

Haunted
The results are undeniable, My fears are justifiable. I know you mean no harm, But I’m a sucker for your charm. I mean, on paper, you’re ideal, But I’m already losing what is real. I’m tripping over words inside my head. I don’t know what should be left unsaid. Polite smiles are well and good But I would scream if only I could. I feel my demons scratch my tongue, Trying to silence what I’ve become. I’m running out of space inside my mind, I just can’t be who I left behind. I am honest and I am strong. So why does that now feel so wrong? And I know freedom isn’t free But I’m begging you not to break me.

The Land of Pursed Lips
I’ve never been good with moderation. Or at least my heart hasn’t. See I can handle my alcohol, And I don’t touch drugs. It’s people that trip me up. I get attached And if I let you in, Then I’ve given you a part of me That I need. I need you, so I can be me. I can’t do things by half, It’s all or nothing with me. And sweet irony strikes again. See I’m too much, And therefore not enough.

Moderate Me
I've been thinking about your lips, And of the people who met them before me. And I just can't comprehend the finality of that moment, That your lips touched theirs for the last time. It's been 8 hours since I kissed you last And every fibre of my body is longing for you; To feel your breath between my lips, To taste my future on your tongue. Urgent and delicate; Because no one kiss is ever enough. With my fingers in your hair And your body pressed against me, I'll pull you closer still, The space between us though barely existent is far too great. I can still hear your voice in my ear, Breathless and whispered. Say my name. Yours rolls off my tongue without control. You've got me so high, I don't ever want it to end. Your kiss is in my veins, And I need another hit.

One last song
I've put ink in my skin, To simulate healing. For the most part it works, I regain some feeling. And that's why I am The girl that you see, Through so many attempts To get back to me. I'll get ink over scars, But they're one and the same; They both stand to show That I've overcome pain. So I'll cover this body With these works of art To try and distract From my marshmallow heart.
