in my mind
there are always exclamation marks
after your name
or stars
or hearts above the 'i'
sometimes i put small smiles behind it too
that know so much but
hide the truth
it only hurts a little
like when you bite your lip
and can taste your own blood
or when you get a tooth pulled
and you cant stop sticking your
tongue in the hole it left behind
ill probably always associate you
with love.
ill listen to sad songs and think
about you
and cry some more
and youll always be the salt in these wounds
like a hot shower on a sunburn.
you know its going to hurt,
but you do it anyways.
