Beautiful Ugly

My chest hurts. It hurts like picking roses with thorns Not knowing something so beautiful can hurt so bad Only love It reminds me How pretty lies can be and how ugly truths are How no one expects the expected anymore. Only lies My chest hurts. It hurts from holding your secrets and tears From pushing down my own and holding onto you You can't save those who dont want it My chest hurts. It hurts from the inside. The inside where my heart is I cant take it out for you, but I can trust you. I can forget talks Mama gave and warnings Papa gave Just to hold your hand and kiss your beautiful brown lips My chest hurts. Because all you seem to do is lie. And all i seem to do is take it. You told me your chest hurts. You said you can't take it anymore. You told me how it felt as if you couldn't breath You said I would never understand your pain You told me I was only a distraction. My chest hurts.
