A simple kiss can alleviate stress;
It can be done between lovers or friends.
A sacred action shared between the two .
Is like their lips cast hooks,
in your soul,
And as their lips part yours
You feel that knot in your stomach come undone;
As it races up your throat
And escapes your lips,
As a sigh of relief

It’s been a year.
A year since I held your hand
Kissed your lips
Whispered in your ear
It’s been over a year.

A year since we SCREAMED
Since YOU left me.
Since YOU cheated me.
Since YOU scorned me.
It’s been nothing but a year

So we SPLIT
Over the course of 2 minutes,
WE were no more
WE were nothing
It’s been a long year.

SO WHY when I see you.
Holding HIS hand
Laughing at HIS joke
Kissing HIS lips
Why does MY heart ache?

Why does the wall,
The one that I made,
That I carved of Brimstone and Coated in Ice
Why does it CRACK,
showing the heart I keep inside?
The blackened and pale ghost I keep silent
WHY DOES IT HURT
Why does my heart still bleed?
Why, just….
Why?
It’s been nothing but a long year.
