It's not a question anymore Of whether or not you love me If you'd bleed a drop from your eyes Watching me cry a pain that's silent When the showers water remains cold You'd warm me with your fingertips Enough to settle each goosebump Pushing the fears I hold into a different palm Cuts don't numb me as they once did Bites distract for only a moment Snaps of a band sting for 7 seconds exactly Burning sips take me away I forget reality, then its too late to return Your love shadows and shades the scars I almost felt healed and completed again Then when you kiss him, stitches start to unravel Feeling each tug of whatever is holding me together Ripping harder by the movement Each thigh grab, rub of the neck, hug from behind The love you have for me is there, no question Now it's different from what it once was I used to see you as a God, controlling me every breath You never asked for it, but managed it as if you did That was before him Before he showed you a different type of love Where you didn't have to hide We were almost perfect, With a squint of both eyes and the lights turned off Now I sit waiting for the sting, as your Love for him poisons me
