"I Love You"s melted Under my tongue 'til you were Yet bitter nostalgia, Yet the feeling of emptiness Yet the absence of memories Yet the memories of absence. Let the shadow of those two petals rest And rim a mirage over my lips. Let that serve as a reminder of the venom behind every kiss. Let me accept the reality that you mean me no good. That I should’ve stopped when I still could. Take heed that I want more. Take to heart I’m too vulnerable to make these kinds of decisions. Take pity that I’m too submissive to threaten your position. Take this kiss as a final blow. As a signature of defeat. This coup d’etat The last draw in heat.
