You and I haven’t spoken out loud in a while
We haven’t touched
Haven’t danced
Or mused
So when I enter the room
Glance your way
Come closer
Reach…
The pleasure nearly sends me crumbling to the floor
You and I haven’t spoken out loud in a while
We haven’t touched
Haven’t danced
Or mused
So when I enter the room
Glance your way
Come closer
Reach…
The pleasure nearly sends me crumbling to the floor
You’ve always been so good at following my lead, leaving me alone when I pull away.
But sometimes I really wish you wouldn’t.
I’m used to the dank dark corners in this old empty house of a soul, the dust gathered in places that used to be filled with life.
But I’m not used to this tiny flickering flame of a candle I have only just found, deep within this closet of a heart. It’s not enough to light the next room over, though it’s just enough to spark.
Two became four
And then more
Until me and you
Became a group of us
But life is better versed
In division than the other
Pushing us further
Till only you and I remain
Again
Two in the north
Two as far west as possible
Several still within state
But rarely accessible
Found one more devoted
But all the way in Scotland
Keeping us remote and forgotten
And ultimately
Alone
My heart hurts
Knowing your smile is more of a frown
I don’t like one bit
Our timezones flipped upsidedown
A poem for me
Well, you’re quite good at gestures
By now we have a whole collection
Tokens of friendship treasures
You leave a note here
And I’ll leave a note there
Timing is always off
And never is it fair
But the affection is still great
Never shall is wane
No matter whatever else
We will always be the same.
You’re the first thought upon my every mourning
Slam into conciousness without any warning
The reasons complex and constantly swarming
Conjested with need for proof not conforming
Looking for relief but find you ignoring
Crippling me with your lack of adoring
Your timing is poor, your uptake lacks reflex
I scramble to rebuild but the heart just deflects
Finding myself in your accumilation of rejects
Never have I been so proficient at trainswrecks
Whatever we are is now memories and reflects
Shattered and done like unbreakable Pyrex
I told a friend what I was doing
So they could pick up the pieces
When I inevitably fell apart.
They asked me why I’d bother…
And I said-
I can’t help but want to dance in the flame
Maybe I’m just a sucker for pain
Almost do
Turned into definitely did.
Going in,
I thought I’d regret it
And it a tiny way, I do.
But in a million zillion ways,
I don’t.
The clock moves forward.
But I’m still sitting here
In the same spot
Watching it tick.
Seems time doesn’t change anything after all.
Whipping it up
Till those soft peaks rise
Your pillowy softness
A feast for my eyes
Dip a finger in
Cause baby I can’t wait
Been on my mind
Craving you all day
Almost done now
So good I forget my name
No better time than when
Eating that sweet lemon meringue
