The first time we kissed, I wrote you a poem with my tongue I tucked it in right in the back of your mouth, between your gums and all that darkness I never said anything but I tasted it all on your tongue I tasted all of your pain, and inhaled all of your lonely Even then beneath my mouth you still didn't feel like a person you only felt like home I wrote you a poem with my tongue and I wonder if I kissed you like a heart beats soft to slow slow to quick would I find my poem still nestled where I placed it I wonder if my words helped **** the bitter alone I wrote you a poem with my tongue when we first traced scars and shared past lives when we first shared our DNA and I guess after all this time what I want to say is even underneath all that pain and lonely there is a star hidden within those petals you call a mouth that there is a sweetness to that bitter that you are still my only home
