Someone* my body does need
Simply to touch, hold and to kiss
So here's what I'm thinking
Love me now, before my mind is mist

Someone my poetry does need
Simply to spell, write and to rhyme
So here's what I'm thinking
Love me now, before my pen runs dry

Someone my heart does need
Simply to love, respect and to cherish
So here's what I'm thinking
Love me now, before my soul does perish

How do I get over the past,
when it was supposed to be my future you and I were meant to last
So don't ask me for my heart back when you've thrown it in my face.
cleansed of your fingerprints, you didn't even leave a trace.
It's frustrating.
how trusting I am of your loving hands
that caressed someone else.
I'm just stressed, Can not stop thinking
Thinking about her lips on your lips
instead of my name.
I'd give anything now
for things to be the same
as they were
And there's really no cure
for love.
It's a miserable thing
no matter how lovable how kissable
I need to be closer
A tattoo on your skin
But even as ink I'd never soak in
deep enough.
Its a miserable thing, this thing we call love.
You don't have to believe in us
because
I know it's unlikely
The fact you even think of me is striking.
Just tell me you're willing to try
You're killing me,
I cry and I cry
How in the world do you sit there dry eyed
