Have I Told you
Have I told you
that you make the
darkness that grows in
my mind wilt and
wither like the flowers
that give in to the
cold of autumn months
Have i told you
that when you tell
me that i am
beautiful,
my cheeks feel as if
a fire had been lit
within my stomach and
crawled up with no intention
of being extinguished
Have i told you
that your fingertips burn
holes into my skin
like a cigarette
left lit and forgotten
to set fire to the
entire house.
Have i told you
that youre the rock
that i lean on
but that also holds
me under water and
leaves me
breathless
Have i told you
that i am gasping for
air
Have i told you
that my vision is
going blurry
and my world is
going black
Have i told you
that i love you
but i cant
stay
with you any longer
Have I told you
that i think i see the light.
It's getting brighter
with every minute
youre away
Have i told you
i love you
Have i told you
goodbye.
