I kissed a girl last night
And I didn’t feel a thing
She kissed me back last night
But she felt everything
I’m getting bad again I know
Listening to the words come out of her mouth
But they don’t fly they just drop to the floor
So I take another shot
In hopes that the fire in her words
Will fly off her lips
And burn mine
But the only burn I feel is the alcohol going down my throat
And her words don’t intrigue me as much as this whiskey does..
I’m getting bad again I know

“Why’d it take you so long to speak up”
“No one knew anything about you and him, how does that work, it can’t be true”
“You don’t wna destroy a life but you’re speaking up doing exactly that”
“It should’ve been a private matter”
“You should’ve done things differently”
“Shame on you”


Words
They’re just words
From lips that were never forced to kiss
From bodies still intact
From minds closed because they never had to endure
What we did
And we did
Silently
Our lips sealed
Our bodies, not ours
Our minds open, just like the first time he....
LIPS SEALED
... no ones gna believe you anyway

I seen it again last night
She began talking about him getting better
Without her
Her dark brown eyes filled up with tears
And her lips started to tremble
As she went on
I love him to the point of madness she said
And I could tell that she was mad
I could see her head full of hurricanes
And that she gave him everything she had
But she has flames in her eyes
The kind of flames that could engulf
Entire night skies
But instead of burning the night away
She Enflames herself
With all the guilt and pain

I once knew this woman who had the most beautiful eyes
With tears streaming down both sides
A steady flow, much like a stream
Flowing past her full pink lips
Falling off her chin like a waterfall
I had never seen her like this
She was always so strong
Knocking life down each time she got up from his fists knocking her down
And yet
Those beautiful eyes never cried waterfalls until now
As she sat there watching the best part of herself
Watch her
She closed her eyes
And for the first time flowed with the river
Pushing past everything she thought she couldn’t conquer
Giving the best part of herself a chance
I once knew this woman who had the most beautiful eyes
And I still do
Sincerely,
The best part of you
