In one night

Jul 24, 2004 22:54

You are the bullet in my gun
You are the time from which I run
You are the toxin in my pill
You are the thing that makes me kill

You are my reflection, everlasting
You are my grey cloud, overcasting
You are my envy, strong and green
You are my emotions, never what you seem

I am the chemicals in your system
I am your memories, don't you miss them?
I am the sinner on the street, reaching for you
I am your words, everything but true

I was her lips, oh, how you adored them
I am her hips, no, you didn't ignore them
I was her gaze, which you craved so much
I am her gentle, tender fucking touch

I can't turn away and pick myself up
I can't get your voice out of my head, I was never enough
I can't breathe, I don't know how anymore, I think I forgot
I can't find my tears, but my heart is in my throat where it is caught

She is the life that was torn away from me
She is the your star, the light you use to see
She is your heartbeat, your only reason for waking
She is your soul, the one you held in your hands, hers for the taking

I am the end of this
I am what you will never miss
I am broken, there is nothing there
I am my tears, smothering me, stealing my air

Death over life, purity, if I had the option, I'd choose sin
I gave up on the idea of making it last
It started too slow and ended too fast
I showed you too much, I told you I was scared
It all happened in one night, I made the mistake of mistaking you for someone who cared

[[ I decided to leave this entry public. This is the first thing I've written in so long.. ]]
