Tonight, the only arms comforting me are my own
Wrapped around my body and not letting go
The pain you’ve caused is running down my face
Drenching my shirt and suffocating this place
There’s a static in the room
Attempting to block every thought of you
But the static never works
I only seem to make them worse
The shaking of my skin and the blur of my eyes
Has me in disbelief that I’ll ever be alright
The thing that I want so badly is too far to hold
I am begging for you until I am blue and cold
I can’t find peace
When I am in the same bed where you used to sleep
With your arms around me and your kiss on my neck
I love you so deeply I fear I have none left
Tossing and Turning,
I can't get you out of my head.
How did I know that when you left,
that day for work it would,
Be the last day I would see you?
The dreams. The nightmares,
The blood and the crash.
I imagine it every day,
How scared you must have been?
How was I not with you that fateful day?
I feel you every day trying,
To tell me you’re ok.
I feel you behind me as I’m cooking,
Always making sure I don’t over salt the food.
At night looking up at the stars,
Like we’ve done so many times before,
I feel the kiss on my neck as you are,
Reassuring me to trust myself,
To breathe again,
To live again and,
Realize in my heart that you’re gone,
And I have to let you go.
It’s like you can hear me from the stars,
When I tell you as long as I know you’re here,
I can breathe and I can live,
So don’t tell me to let you go, I’m not ready.
I lay down in our bed ,
Crying,
Missing you,
Wanting you,
I feel your head on my shoulder,
As you say in a language only I can understand,
It’s Ok Baby, Just take your time,
I’ll always be here for you.
I just want to wrap my arms around u
and run my fingers through your soft hair
and hear u whisper in my ear that u love me
I just want to have that butterfly feeling
and smile like an idiot for no reason again
I just want you to put me first and tell me im your baby again
I just want to feel your soft kiss on my neck one more time
I just want you….
Hard to remember my first kiss,
seems I’ve always been kissin’ and kissin’.
I’d pucker up and kiss Mother.
Dad would hug me and he’d get another.
Those petals got a whole lota use,
on baby sis’s toes, I’ll give no excuse.
Gram’s would kiss and kiss me again.
At five I had my first kissin boyfriend!
Teenage brought a kiss on my neck,
a bit of tongue teasing, but what the heck.
College broadened my repertoire
till I met the one I’d been practicin’ for..
Now, on to that momentous kiss
on our wedding day, well it was pure bliss.
A few years pass, I had my boy,
and needless to say, I kissed him with joy.
Lips, soft, plump and pink, I just love to kiss
I’ve always been a right kissable miss.
The touch of your fingers running up and down my spine
Makes me so glad you're mine
The touch of what's between my legs and yours
Makes me yearn for more
The touch of your tongue in between my lips
Sends a tingling sensation through my hips
The touch of your hands rubbing my body
Makes my body language speaks even more clearly and loudly
The touch that is being transferred to me
Cannot hide the fire of my body between these sheets
The touch of your kiss on my neck is just a tease
But I love the touch of you giving my body a squeeze
Finally, the touch is where I want it
I'm wanting the touch of every bit of it
The touch then got me from the back
But from the front, I just couldn't hold back.
