I put ice on the wounds you marked me with.
I ignored those words on your lips.
I strayed from your friends and family.
I didn't need them to live.
I kissed my mum goodnight,
That night I didn't cry.
Instead I turned out the light and tucked myself in.
I met a familiar face that day.
I hadn't seen them in a while.
I dreamt of his smile and his shy spoken voice,
you didn't cross my mind in any sort of way.
It was like he had drenched me in peace.
He had no idea he was capable.
He had no idea he had saved me that day.
Now he kisses the places you once marked.
He's taken away all off the pain.
He makes me feel strong and he makes me feel pure.
He tells me he loves me and I know he's not lying.
You hurt me once.
He's the reason I'm surviving.
