a fading kiss
written by Poison Ivy04:21 AM 9/18/04Too many times I wanted a kiss from you
and watch my ungranted wish drift away.
You look at me
and I look at you
And all my fears come back to me . . .
when I look in your deceitful eyes.
The fear of that kiss becoming a wound claims me
the fear of you not with me
or the image of anyone else but me in your arms.
Too many times I wanted to let my
building tears come crashing down
My heart sheds tears
But my eyes remain dry.
But not from the inside.
Wanting to let out my silent screams of pain
that have been hushed for too long
Fill the air for all to realize that I am not okay
I’m never okay
Too many times I’ve wanted to
lock my lips with yours.
but my side of reality wakes me
from my unpleasant slumber,
And shatters the deceiving,
sweet dreaming,
I haven’t felt in years.
A fading image of a kiss from you
A growing anger inside of me
with the possibility of me
failing to win your soul
Crumbles any of the hope left in this empty heart of mine
But who knows if this will work . . .
And I open my eyes to see there is only this:
That . . . a fading love
. . . and a fading heart
. . . gives only a faded, and imaginary kiss |
