Soft kisses
           Against
                  
hesitant lips
Turns quickly too
              Hair pulling
                    *followed by 'i'm sorry'

then-suddenly it was love
             And I had no idea-how
                         too escape 'it'
but ****-painted, panted promises
            Are useless during
                        day lit seconds
Do not leave me beggin' for more
                 I could have destroyed you
      *instead, for you. I came - undone
Tar on my teeth
Tar in my lungs
Another day
Smoked away
To heavy guitar
And a hint of nostalgia
I miss the taste
Of being alone
Tonight
I'm here without you
And the forced silence
Is so ******* loud
I never let goodbye
Get to me like this
But this time
This time it hurts
Because you,
You
Really had me
And I don't know*

I don't know
I waited
20 weeks
38 weeks
177 weeks
And I still loved you
Because it came as naturally as breathing
And who but us could understand
The waiting
I've caught myself low again
In a pretty place
Where my troubles can't find me
I guess it goes to show
Distance can't fight sadness
When it sits in your soul

*Maybe tomorrow it'll be better
My best kept secret
Is that I love you
So much that sometimes it frightens me
And I enjoy my time
Spent wasting nights in your bed
Just please remember darling
I like bruises on my thighs
Not my arms
And there are boundaries
You just shouldn't push
I can't help but wonder
If you ever loved me at all
Which is such an interesting thing
For me to ponder on
Considering the doubt was
Close to always
Directed toward me
Yet somehow here we are
30 weeks and some odd days later
And I still want what's best for you
But you want nothing of me
Perhaps I am being too rash
In my making of assumptions
But quite frankly
If you ever once loved me at all
You would put in the effort
To be civil to me now
