Smile

Haunting fingers lay over me
By my hips and my chest
The smile that I cannot forget
A smile that I cannot help but tell myself it was your true self

A smile I can only see as wicked 
As I hear her speak of such grace you can hold in your kiss
Your lips are something I can only see in the state they were when you did it

The smile you gave me is something I don't think I can unsee or describe 

Your teeth that graze over my neck but don't suck away my blood 
I wish you would want to hurt me
Maybe then I wouldn't know I could hurt you

Your lips that can be so mesmerizing as they speak sweet words that you don't mean
I wish you wouldn't keep speaking because maybe then i wouldn't have a reason to kill you
Maybe then I wouldn't have a reason to regret that

You know just how to make me useless
