Death Through Understanding

Feelings of dispair
waiting in cold sheets
yearning for your body heat to keep me warm
another sad love song
my thoughts are finally understood
if my sheets are cold, then someone elses are warm
the marks on your body
similar to bruises, but these weren't caused by fights
rolled in sin
trying to hide behind showers
washing off your sweat
having sex with her 
then making love to me
love isn't a game
Death Through Understanding
lipstick on your collar
perfume kissing you lightly
my heart says you're faithful
but my mind knows you aren't
plauged with the reality that another women has felt your love
if my sheets are cold
someone elses are warm
Death Through Understanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!
