If I Ever Lost

By elphur

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Inside myself I’d hideWhile where your once-sweet fingers touched meWould turn acidic and burnLike my eyes burningFrom the ice in yours.Those eyes I’ve kissed,And would again,But you don’t want me to.The noise inside my headMinus the pain in my heartWould be enough to break my soul.If you ever left me,If I ever lost you.How it would wear me downTo replay it again in my mindPlaying over and overLike words on my lipsBeaten and sad.Those lips you’ll kissNever again,But still I want you to.The noise inside my headMinus the pain in my heartWould be enough to break my soul.If you ever left me, If I ever lost you.Anger boiling andSadness settlingI reach for nothing;It reaches back.The massive void would bleedDrowning who I was so faithfullyAnd gasping for air I’d slideLike my broken heartFading with sunrise.This heart you loved,I still love you,But now that bothers you.The noise inside my headMinus the pain in my heartWould be enough to break my soul.If you ever left me, If I ever lost you.This heart you lovedI still love youThe noise in my headThe pain in my heartTell me I haven’t lost you.
