they leave your lips
words i wish you hadn't said
ones that struck the pit in my heart
bReAkInG the dam- rush.
sickens swirls
not-too-close
but not too f a r .
should've known what you meant
should've known the joke
turning away
pain in your beautiful, beautiful eyes
strain in your lovely, lovely voice
love can't always be easy.
