I have blisters on my fingers

Cuts on my heart

Cracks in my voice

Tears in my eyes

All I tried to do was sing for you

A love song

 

I've wrote you countless letters

My cut up heart

Bleeds out on paper

While my hands translate

Blood into words

All for you

 

Every night I cry;

In the depths of night's darkeness

This mistress conceals my tears from view

And I smile every morning

Especially when I say 

"Good Morning"

To you

 

I curl my hair

Paint my nails

To impress you

Although, when you once loved me

You said

"Even in sweats and a messy bun,

You're still my beautiful"

 

To my heart's dismay

You no longer

Consider me

Your beautiful

 

Whenever you need someone

With the speed of light I'm there

To comfort

Hug

Kiss

Reassure

you

I linger and worry until the end of time

All about you

 

Although when I need you

An empty room answers back,

I.

Love.

You.
