Neonlights On My Skin At Night

Description

Lyrics I wrote in an insomniac night =].

You are talking 'bout empathy while you drink sips of ginger tea.
I stare, I wait, I listen, but your lips stay still.

You seemed to have so much to say, well, the conversation still lingers on anyway.
Branches in the rainstorm. A drink to make us warm.

You grazed the pebbles on my white back, first with your lips, then one by one under your fingertips.
Dim eyes, forced smiles, bare feet, gas lamps out in the street.

The neon lights from outside make our skin look surreal, they highlight the faults that we cannot conceil.

I'm quite ashamed of my naked breast, even if, I know, last night your head laid on my chest.
The sheets were stained. The rain ticked on the windowpane.

All the talking is over now. I'm wearing nothing but a white towel.
A spot, a quilt, ashes, a shot, a bunch of keys.

You're making coffee, I can hear the noise, and a hint of fake in your kneaded voice.
Now leaves and blades are still, but some drops of milk are spilt.

Those biscuits and fruit juice they just made me sick, and the air in this kitchen got heavily thick.
The light fixture hanging down the flaky ceiling is suggesting me several oppressive feelings.
So I'm walking 'round, inertly, with your towel on. My slight sense of hope is already definitely gone.
Now I think of the wishes I've blown,

and I'm all alone.

I adore this poem. It has a very lovely flow to it and I enjoy the words you used.

.. I also love the style and emotion of the eyes you drew.
