Dry Lips

I can't forget our first kiss

Your dry lips paused my heart

We leaned against the car

While crickets cried in the dark

 

We were two broken dreams

Stitched together by fear

And the predestined doom

That happiness ends in tears

 

Those dreams are lost

Like ghosts at a grave

I think of your lips

While dark ends the day

 

All cries for love are choked

Like a punctured lung

I sit alone while crickets call

And ghosts wait for me to come

 

I can't forget that night with you

And smile with tears for what's untrue

On side note, I know most of you already know, but clicking the buttons (or even finding the buttons) to thank you individually for your wonderful comments is incredibly difficult because of my visual impairment. But please know I do read them all and am uplifted and happy for your visits and kindness. Thank you so much :)
