Red lips and farewell

Red Lips and Farewell

©️mary🦂🌺

Those lips were red when you left her alone

As you said goodbye

Cinderella had no shoes on

Black jumpsuit, midnight sky

You said she’s beautiful

Then you disappeared

Was it only a dream

Or something real I feared

Those lips were red and swollen

Red and swollen when you left

I didn’t know I broke you open

Trying just to make you stay

Those lips were red and aching

From a love I couldn’t hold

Now I’m standing here releasing

Everything you never told

⸻

I took away your peace

And I don’t know how to give it back

If I love you like I say I do

I have to loosen my grasp

Give back your soul

Give back your life

Give back your heart

You never said it

But I heard it

In the silence of your cries

⸻

Those lips were red and swollen

Red and swollen when you left

I didn’t know I broke you open

Trying just to make you stay
