A Kiss Could Add Up To A Thousand Words.

Just cut me out of the picture, make way for perfection
I have to give you credit, its so amazing how you can find humor in;
Ripping my heart out of my chest smashing it on the floor
And hanging my bloody body, left with rejection.

Shed the memories of me and you and all the days we had spent
The lonely nights we spent starring in to fire, wrapped in the blanket
Every time a tear fell from those eyes I’d hold you ever so tighter
Maybe one day I’ll get the courage to remove the hate with torment.

Summer days have been drowned by winter, and “I love you’s” can only mean so much
How can I still love you after my heart is broken and missing?
And how come every time you said, “Do you miss me?”
I replied, “Yes, oh its killing me” when I knew you had him with your cluch

Saying “I love you” is never safe when the residue of past kisses still linger in your very mouth.
The memories of loved ones lost still haunt your mind every time you lean in for that next first kiss.

As the razor peals away the skin from my already weak wrist, I begin to cry
How can I still hurt when my heart has been shattered beyond repair
And all the blood has been stolen from my body, from my veins
There she goes with the blade in hand , with a look as if to say "goodbye".

Go ahead and do it again, I don’t think my heart can take it anymore
Fling your arms around him and pretend I’m not in the room
I always thought a relationship was something to cherish and something I could rely on
I never would have guessed you used me and it was something to die for

Just think as my hands as the Jaws of Life, crushing your throat of concrete
I need you to love me, kiss me one last time, and be my oxygen
Your toxic perfume seeps into my lungs and soul and eats them away
Take my breath away, can’t you see I’m choking on your words of deceit

Saying “I love you” is never safe when the residue of past kisses still linger in your very mouth.
The memories of loved ones lost still haunt your mind every time you lean in for that next first kiss.

You were the best damn stab to my heart; I’d still take a bullet for you, he put me where I belong
Take my lifeless body, and through it to the curb, did you see me as something to rely on
Fix me once again; I begin to choke on the sense that we will never be
The way you slit my throat, nothing could go wrong, to bad I can only say “I love you” in a song.
Your kiss adds up to a thousand words
Your kiss takes away a thousand breathes

It leaves me hopeless gasping for air, no one has ever died with a bigger smile on their face
I wouldn’t change you to save my life, your everything to me but some things I can’t have
Here you go again, that same old routine. They say your not worth the sorrow, just be here tomorrow

Tell me he’s not what you need; I was praying it was going to be me
Tell me he’s not what you need; I was praying it was going to be me
Tell me he’s not what you need; I was praying it was going to be me

Saying “I love you” is never safe when the residue of past kisses still linger in your very mouth.
The memories of loved ones lost still haunt your mind every time you lean in for that next first kiss.

Tell me he’s not what you need; I was praying it was going to be me
(Repeat 10 times)
(Last time no music)

    Once again very good, already commented but you commented on my poem called "Thoughts Jotted Down Into Something For You..." and you left a comment saying
    "Wow, this kind makes me feel bad.
    Really Really Bad.
    Sorry.
    I didnt mean for it to happen.
    I really am."
    But the thing is I don't want you to feel bad because you didn't love me and i wouldn't want ot be with someone who never loved me. If you didn't mean for it to happen then you wouldn't have done it but hey it is done and over with. bad feel bad or sorry because ther is no reason to and if there is someone should tell me. Its in the past and this is the present, live up to what you did because it doesn't matter much anymore...
