i like the way your arms wrap around my waist
they keep me safe guarded
away from the pain
of the beautiful world we live in


i enjoy when your lips touch mine
you taste like whiskey and cigarettes (laughs)

the way that
when i'm cold
you'd lend me your jacket
and tell me that your only wish is to keep me warm

i hate the way
you said you wouldn't leave
but abandoned me
when things got hard

from that day
i prayed and prayed
until i'd held the cross
in my hands
just a little too tight
and the blood
ran down
and around
my wrist
like ivy
on a wall
and that was when i swore
on the name of god
and his son
that i would not fall for anybody
if i was still falling for her
