Secrets

[fuckisjustaword]

To save your soul from the one you love
The lies will never hurt her
Because she will never know
The truth brought on by centuries
That you hide beneath the covers
Of war and long lost lovers

It eats away at your heart
To see her love you like she does
But you will never confess your sins
Because you’ll lose her when it’s over
To the regrets you feel condemned you from the start
The backwards trail of another’s broken heart

Inside she knows the secrets
That are buried deep in your thoughts
Because my knowing voice
Tells the tale through a thousand wordless songs
Each melody a repeat of the one that came before me
In a whisper a little off key

Her eyes all painted black
Will bleed the color into your scars
That never quite healed
From when you cut them there a year ago
To block out what you did
With the lipstick colored acid

Apologies are just pointless banter
The lies are still a float
The smile she saves for you is wasted
For your smile is yours alone
Her skin will let you in tonight
But at what cost in the morning light
