The Kiss
So much pain.
I feel it everywhere.
What can I do to make it go away?
I use to know.
The kiss.
The kiss that will allow me to slip away.
Away into oblivion.
Do I dare kiss back?
Do I want to kiss back?
I use to.
But now?
Now I'm not so sure.
I use to constantly think about this kiss.
I know it'll take the pain away.
I know it'll make me feel better.
But will it make others feel better?
I've been told that it won't.
All my life I've been thinking about others.
So why not think about me for once?
Do I really want to kiss back?
I feel him slowly drawing me in.
Slowly running his hands through my hair.
Slowly getting closer and closer.
About to kiss.
He'll make it all better.
Do I kiss back?
I guess only time will tell.
I feel it everywhere.
What can I do to make it go away?
I use to know.
The kiss.
The kiss that will allow me to slip away.
Away into oblivion.
Do I dare kiss back?
Do I want to kiss back?
I use to.
But now?
Now I'm not so sure.
I use to constantly think about this kiss.
I know it'll take the pain away.
I know it'll make me feel better.
But will it make others feel better?
I've been told that it won't.
All my life I've been thinking about others.
So why not think about me for once?
Do I really want to kiss back?
I feel him slowly drawing me in.
Slowly running his hands through my hair.
Slowly getting closer and closer.
About to kiss.
He'll make it all better.
Do I kiss back?
I guess only time will tell.
