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
