Lost in your Lips

Kissed you so hard, I lost every breath of mine,
I was blind to the truth, and thought everything was fine,
Hugged you so hard, I blinked then lost you the very next second,
So close to my heart it pierced a hole that is nonrefillable,
A complete eye sore you are, Like a cavity that won't ever go away,
And even though you're away it punctured my skin so badly, That you are in my skin, a sliver.
Your words are like needles injecting into my fragile heart,
Kissed you so tenderly, I got lost in your lips,
Hugged you so softly, I got lost in your arms,
My world flips when I don't have you around,
The harms of life never caused me strife until I lost you,
But life moves on and tonight, I miss you more than any moan can ever express,
Stayed by the phone like a sick man waiting for the cure,
Laid down crying rivers for you, Fell in and floated down stream,
Off a waterfall and into the rapids of despair and loss.
I was caught in the undertow and dragged down out to sea,
Sank to the bottom like a ton of bricks,
As the sunshine slowly disappeared from my face,
And the darkness was the space I stupidly dug myself into,
The space up top was nice and you were looking down on me in pity,
I would part the sea to get to where you are but you are far away from wanting that,
You dipped your feet in then ran away, annoyed and afraid,
As I laid searching for your eyes in the clams' pearls, But I tried in vain,
Looked for your smile under each rock, while it slowly drove me insane.
I held my breath counted to three,
To hear the words that get me every time,
All I wanted to hear was that you loved me.
It was ran through my veins like a poison from the most toxic jellyfish,
Stinging every inch of my body, Until my corpse lied underneath a pile of seaweed,
Then I bleed until it scars as it develops into a tough callous,
I must find fortitude.
Tonight I am above you looking down,
Tonight I am free from your watery grave you made for me,
Tonight the fight is mine as you can see and I am not your slave,
I have the heart in my chest that I so foolishly gave.
