my lips are chapped from kissing you, i'll blame it on the winter blue, an unseen taint upon my skin, licked bruises bloom from deep within. i should have known loose liquored lips, would lead handprints upon my hips. do you love the way i smile? stay and laugh with me awhile? i know you love to trace my mouth i watch your gaze it travels south remember when you called me pretty, here inside this broken city. now we're back where we began on trembling legs i stumble, ran you are silent, say goodnight i don't reply I'm not polite.
