Your eyes are blue
My body’s cold
I have a boy
I love to hold
He kisses me
Like you used to
But doesn’t cause
The pain you do
I see your face
I run away
I am not yours
No, not today
Your freckles dance
Over your cheek
They form a lie:
You appear weak
It has been
Not a year
Since you were
My biggest fear
You stole my heart
You broke it too
I’ve nothing left
But words for you
