your lips upon mine,

setting my skin on fire

you were an outlet of energy

eager to use my cord

you remedied yourself

with a hundred kisses

and i received ninety nine of them

the hundredth disappeared

in another girl's hands

i remedied myself

with a hundred i love you's

and you received none of them

because you had given me

a false heart

and given yours

to someone with more energy

and even as my words leave me

and your phone dies

i still have electricity written

on my arm, in black ink

a thin cord that wraps around my neck

and strangles our relationship

i gave you a hundred conversations

and you threw them away

because they didn't fit

in your false heart
