~ ~ Inside my Skin ~ ~

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
