****** Bullet Pt.1

I lost track of everything I wasn't going to write

Upon my decision not to

So without a clue and with a severe lack of consensual thought

Between my brain and my mouth

I begin to spill my heart to you

 

On your shoulder I slosh my vows and beg of you

Believe darling, believe me too

 

If I try I can count the tears in your eyes

Watching them fall makes me want to scream

but shutting my eyes hurts even more

so I can only watch them stream and begin to tell you my lore.

 

I told you I feel like the ****** bullet in your side

The wound hurts and the blood stains

But you are to embarrassed to call the surgeon

And your nervous fingers won't let it heal.

 

You told me I was crazy without a doubt

The one thing you could know for sure

 

And that whatever I know is wrong

and who I found inside myself was only there to fill the space.

 

I said to you that 'empty hurt' was filled

When I saw you smile at me from across the street

It's and you're gone, now too

But I still love you.

 

After that you swore you were fine

But your heart was screaming it was a lie

I heard it loud and clear, I can't fight.

 

I'm sobbing

Not here, not on the outside

But I'm filling up with tears

I tried to tell you that

But every time I opened my mouth

The tears would threaten to come out

so I swallowed hard and turned my head.

 

I wanted nothing more then to fall back on your bed

With your head next to mine on a pillow

I almost did.

 

I was tracing the stars with my eyes out the window

Just to keep out of the conversation

I knew we were about to start

I lost track of what was happening after about 20 seconds.

 

I nearly was asleep

But the silent scream between the two of us

Was too much to bare on a sleeping self.

 

Mixed up, I finally lied myself down

Utterly confused beyond comprehension

I looked up at your eyes still starry and smiled

I couldn't resist.

When I forget why I'm crying

I just can't help but laugh.
