Mistake In Parting

Chelsea Wolfe


Your face is as clean as any boy I had ever seen
And your-taste was so familiar
Oh I swore I'd lick your skin before and
I don't want to be a mistake in parting from her
Did I make you realize that she's the only one you'd die for?

I pined for the day-when my skin melted away
And you held me close and declared, "this is all you."
Was it just that we are into some sort of innocent unknown's
And are you satisfied now that you've had me?

Now I fear you'll never take me in again-it was far from perfect
And reminds me of the places where people met
We laid together in one bed
Now the absence of your kiss is plaguing me
Your light..shining. In the..light of day

I don't want to be here-I don't know where I want to be
Or where I am going-I am just so un-satisfied.
I look out for aggressive places I have loved and been
People I have lost along the way-now you are one of them.
We are a father's dove, a mother's-we are a vision of despair.
And knowing that I knew you when they said
Makes me want to die in bed too
