But you see your kiss left a trace
the type that makeup couldn't cover
the kind of mark my friends started asking about
the kind that left me inside for days
and I guess I used to think it was my fault
I mean you were stressed
work was putting pressure on you
and you didn't seem to get much sleep
and I know I can be a bit slow with getting dinner ready sometimes
.....
but I've realised it will only take one more
hit to the floor
against the cupboard
or upon my face
and I won't be here any more
so as blue as I am black
this is through
a//n
I would just like to take this opportunity to thank my friends who have always been there for me, you have made me the person I am today and I will forever be in your debt
love always
Rubes
