Kiss

Kiss

Lips can be deceitful
Whether they whisper in your ear 
Or trace your cheek
When lips pressed tight 
Together
Come back bloody
Or worse, cold
When salty tears
That are not your own fall on your cheek
When a kiss can say everything
Or nothing at all
A thousand kisses can never be enough
I’ll take your bloody kisses
And tearstained cheek
Don’t say anything love,
Lips can be deceitful,
But they can’t lie.
