Salty Lips

Salty Lips
Tears run deep,
Even in sleep
Every tear that flows,
Causes me great sorrow

Tears flow along her face,
Tears caused by my disgrace,
And shimmering down her cheeks
Whimpering in defeat
puddling in her lips
For I’m such a fool
A fool in vain,
For the tears are falling like rain

Tears falling from her chin
Falling to the ground
Gathering in a mound

Tears will dry,
When I come through the sky
Wipe those tears away baby,
Because I’m coming to stay

I’ve kissed your lips,
And felt your breath
A sweet embrace,
That will never be misplaced
