Razor Wire Kisses

You touched me like a promise

Soft voice, sharpened edge

Every word a velvet warning

Wrapped around a hidden pledge

You held me like a secret

You swore you’d never break

But your heartbeat told the truth

Every pulse was a mistake

I should’ve seen the glimmer

Of the steel beneath your grin

But I wanted to believe

You’d let somebody in

Razor wire kisses

Cut me going in

You said you cared

But you never did

You dressed your lies

In sugar and sin

Razor wire kisses

Bleeding from your grin

You carved your name in silence

Let me fill in all the blanks

I mistook your cold indifference

For a heart behind the tanks

You played me like a martyr

Begging for a crown

But every time I reached for you

You pushed me to the ground

I should’ve felt the tension

In the way you held your breath

But I mistook your distance

For a fear of something left

Razor wire kisses

Cut me going in

You said you cared

But you never did

You dressed your lies

In sugar and sin

Razor wire kisses

Bleeding from your grin

You never loved the real me

Just the version you could bend

A puppet on your strings

A wound you wouldn’t mend

But now I see the truth

In the scars you left behind

You never wanted love

Just someone to unwind

Razor wire kisses

Cut me going in

You said you cared

But you never did

You dressed your lies

In sugar and sin

Razor wire kisses

Tore me limb from limb

Your touch was just a weapon

Your love was just pretend

Razor wire kisses

I won’t fall for them again
