I'm not sure if
you realize this,
but,
it was never your kisses
that kept me alive,

it was the words
that I thought they meant.

Yes! It's true. It's what

Yes!
It's true.
It's what the physical means,
Not the action
Itself.

Interesting choice of words:
"Kept me alive."
It's in the past tense, A
nd you have "thought they meant" in there.
It's so
Sad.

woahh powerful words. Harsh

woahh powerful words. Harsh yet somehow sweet. I like how this is a short poem and you get right to the point. But the words make it seem like so much more than just a short poem.
