~ ~ Inside my Skin ~ ~, by FirePoet
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
