i do not see the glass half full or half empty i see the lipstick stain on the side and wish your mouth was on mine instead i refuse to wear red but i let my wrists drain the color because i like the way it contrasts against the marble bathroom sink i'm the thorn on the rose I'll never admit how i dance at 3am when the world sleeps my clothes on the floor except the black lace around my hips wishing instead they were your lips i won't gloss my lips and wish for yours to do the job for me i taste like a sad 50's blues song you can't stop listening to; try for yourself but buried are these thoughts and hidden are the desires lock & key return to reality awaken 9-5 sleep die i will die with a petal hidden where no one can find it to signify all the love which never came my way

realist trapped in the body of a romantic
i do not see the glass half full or half empty i see the lipstick stain on the side and wish your mouth was on mine instead i refuse to wear red but i let my wrists drain the color because i like the way it contrasts against the marble bathroom sink i'm the thorn on the rose I'll never admit how i dance at 3am when the world sleeps my clothes on the floor except the black lace around my hips wishing instead they were your lips i won't gloss my lips and wish for yours to do the job for me i taste like a sad 50's blues song you can't stop listening to; try for yourself but buried are these thoughts and hidden are the desires lock & key return to reality awaken 9-5 sleep die i will die with a petal hidden where no one can find it to signify all the love which never came my way
// syncopate my skin to your heart beating //
