i ask you why
face turned away
you say nothing
silence reigns, forever
to be
all that lies
between us

i am down on my knees
mouth forming
empty words of
supplication and love
love me again
i'm sorry

when your hands were
so cold on me i
did not cry
no
i was a good girl
your girl

when you asked i
touched you
tasted you
loved you

i did not ask
why when you loved
me still
only how much or
i love you
i love you
i love you

need i say it more?
your taste is
still in my mouth
your hands still
touching, touching
me
unblemished skin
now painted with
my blood

my blood is on your hands
still i love
i need you

your words of love
still imprinted
in my mind
stinging
echoing forever

i won't ask again
i'm sorry
love me again
and i will give myself
over

or do you only love
youth?
soft skin still
untouched
tiny hands in
yours

i would die for you

will your face
forever be turned away
mocking
hating
i wanted to say no
they made me
filled my head
with lies
saying you betrayed
me
saying you hurt
me
i know better

it was love
the only love i will ever know
your hand over my mouth
to hold in the screams
my eyes wide

i am there forever

don't kill me
with your silence
it was all my fault
i made you love
me
made my skin
irresistable to your
rough hands

i'm sorry
i would do it all again
to regain your
love
love that slithered like
poison out of my mouth

hurt me again
i won't tell
