hung my head over your left shoulder
kissed every inch of your skin
as if those sins were clung to my lips
and all i want is to forget
and begin
again

She asks me to understand her grief
I sleep beneath it
A pillar of flowers I hang my head with
I am surrounded by your hurt
(Well, at least the noose was beautiful)
Darling, I would undress your wounds
If I could
Like them clean
Heal with my tongue until you had no more feeling
But love is fleeting
and I am no better than the next one
Bury my mind with petals
Burn my eyes in haste
I want to forget
What it felt like
To discover hate

*******,
You know how to break a woman
Bend the two halves in the palm of your hand
Just because you can
Tear the chest wide open
And do away with it
And on to the next pretty girl
With half the sense
To jump into bed
To jump into regret
But maybe I'm no better
Because I
I
Am too many things to you

Lonely tear
Drops
Tear inside my chest
And I swear I felt you
The entire day
Even though
You'll never be here again

slept between her thighs
for hours at a time
i could stay there all night
and you know i gladly would
but a woman has to keep some pride
am i right?
nowadays, i don't feel so right
but good god, i'm in love
(or I was)
and that should be enough
so i use my tongue to
lap up every apology
swallow it whole
even the stem
so that maybe one day
i can look past your sins
and call you

M I N E

And she said
"Sometimes things are dumb and that's okay"
And I realized then
I will never be afraid
To love
To love
(You)

you let me down
true
your sin lingers in my spine
sinks into my skin
and all i want to do is shake it
crush it up, my love
because you are still my love
and i don't want to love you
but it's the most natural act
so i look past the ache
and take it day by day
i want to see chunks of you
inside of me
swallowed you whole
whole
holy
