More Than Unknown

retreat from my mind
these thoughts are mine to have
not yours to invade
words coated with sweet insincerity
such a good faker, you are
emotion made permanent with doubt

force your scent from my lungs
your taste off the tip of my tongue
words that every girl craves
I don't want to hear from your lips
get out get out get out
you are no longer welcome here

sew my eyelids tight
your smile is too much to bear
imprinted in my thoughts
your laugh a permanent tattoo
even when removed, a scar lingers
mind bleached, but I sense you missing

Imaginary voice like velvet
mature beyond your years
older than time and half it's years
pin your heirloom on someone else
a glass doll handed down from time-to-time
keep your precious name to yourself

sweet mingling with sour
our balance is not evident
my bitter overrides you
we're both left with bad tastes in our mouth
you wait for the words I so long to say
I told you so
