Love Pains

Sun, 07/13/2014 - 01:11 -- ztuoni

You absence should be illegal because it’s so fatal

You leave and take part of my heart in your back pocket

Your anger is a double blade with one poisoned side

But my fingers lose their meaning if they can’t trace the surface of your skin

 

Your voice echoes through the caves of my thoughts

And I can almost feel and breathe you in

I have no purpose if your lip prints are not tattooed onto mine

 

Your blows are sad words reaching for my affection

So I let myself show my love to you, over and over again

Pain is only pain if it is felt

 

And when I see you with her I burn inside

The embers in my eyes shine bright

And I remember our love and all that we’ve done

So I let myself show my love to you

Pain is only pain if it is let to be felt
