~ ~ Inside my Skin ~ ~, by FirePoet, by Thoughtless Encounters Subscribe to rss feed for Thoughtless Encounters

The only way to truly understand me
Would be to get inside my skin




To breathe my breaths for me

To experience what I feel for you




To feel how my heart almost stops

When your skin is next to mine




To feel my heart race, echoing on my lips

When your lips meant with mine




To feel the state of lingering bliss, above and beyond this
world

When our bodies intertwine, coupling, in a lovers dance




To see how your eyes bore into my soul

Capturing a part of it, never to let go




I never believed in love

Until, I met you




To be able to understand

Some of the crazy things I do




Like why I had no choice, but to let you go

Even though, I love you so much




The only way possible for you to understand

Would be to get inside my skin




Your happiness above all meant the most to me

I could see in your eyes, you were missing something




Things you needed from me, I just won't allow myself to
give

Even to you, the one I love




Many times I would watch you sleep, your chest rising and
falling slowly

You looked so beautiful, with the moonlight dappled across
your skin




I could not help, but realize just how much I loved you

Sometimes, I would catch myself whispering it to you




You needed to hear the words " I Love You ", cross my lips

Words I couldn't say unless you were sleeping




My actions should've spoke volumes above any words I could
have said

But you couldn't read between the lines




You made me feel safe, you made me complete

In my eyes you should have seen yourself reflecting back




To understand the misery I felt as I watched you walk away


Would be to get inside my skin




The guilt I feel now consumes me everyday

Knowing I will never have a chance to make it up




My heart plummeted into a dark abyss 

The day you died a part of me died too




The words "I love you", crossed my lips too late 

Hanging there, in the damp air




Using a bottle of jack to wash them down

Laying, a rose atop your stone




The only way to have truly understood me

Would've been to get inside my skin
