These Lips
Lips are for talking
Loving
Biting, kissing
But why do I use mine for hurting?
I let the words flow from my lips as if there's not a tongue in my mouth
Knowing not that I have hurt you and suddenly we're playing catch-up
I fear the loss of a love that's still new
My voice speaks only half of what I want to say, I don't think I'm enough
Please ignore me, for I don't know what I tell you
I'm so Bewitched by the way your lips curl up in a smile
I become an empty shell, thoughtless and a fool
You're becoming my whole world, I want to use these lips to kiss away your demons
Just please don't let them scare you
