Cold Lips
June 3, 2012
My lips are godless
No conviction behind them
Yet they shout the unspeakable
And whisper the taboo
My lips are rebellious
Will not do as they're told
They remain locked from love
But cannot profess who
My lips are dumbfounded
Confused, tangled up
Struggling and failing
To utter a clue
My lips are devoted
Repeating your name
They promise to be yours
If you only knew
My lips are sealed
Shut tight from the grief
And regretting the fight
That this love grew
My lips are blue
Turned cold from the wait
They never felt warmth
They never felt you
