kept quiet with nothing to hold
fingers laced in the blistering cold
eyes pressed tight against the night
and hell will follow too
the heart it races, beats in paces
with hopes and hearts so true
a battered past and a comfort found
in the dying light and empty sound
i'm burning in hell and wish you were here
it's that feeling you get when you know it's not the same
it's not the same anymore
i've read books about lives i wish i lived
i've written poems about the people i wish i never loved
but i've found nothing new
just the same old, same old tried and true
your pale soft skin blessed and unused
wrapped and loved with my ownbruised
kissed on my wrists knowing you're better than this
it's the same old, same old blues
you gave up on me but i never gave up on you
left the marks on my lips
they were cracked with winters kiss.
