The things I see, the things I love
You’re on my mind
It’s true
I’m deeply in love with you
Nothing can change the ways I long for you in the night
The thought of you
It makes me blue
I want you to be mine too
Rugged sex appeal, in the dark
You make your way around the room
Out of nervousness I laugh and curl my hair
Tell you to go on, head upstairs
This rapture we have is so divine
I’m thinking it’s the wine
But I haven’t drank any and you’re as gorgeous as can be
Truly
It’s true
I’m deeply in love with you
Hunger pangs coinciding with a deep void
I’m still a little girl
Laying awake at night
Breathing fresh air
Lavender air diffuser
Three in the morning & I’m too awake to call you
Too anxious to get my tone right
Too late for me to say good night
I’ll stay up alone, it’s alright
The darkness of the night is a new kind of sparkle
Gives my room a soft gleam
I avoid you, so I frantically clean
But all that matters is what’s in between
Your neural fibers which make me wonder
Am I going too fast, am I slipping under
How am I still stuck on you
Like a long-winded belly-aching strong flu
And what’s in it for you
I could be the most wonderful lover
I could set sail your ship for you
Never make you look bad
Talk to you gently when you are sad
I’m everything you need in life right now
But there are people standing in my way
It makes me want to cry, won’t they go away
Real hesitant I am, so I stand at the bay
And you come to me, an innocent boy
Ask me about my day
Tell me sweet words I haven’t heard in a while
Made me think I went out of style
But if this is our revolution, you and me
Sign me up, sign me up, sign me up
Toss and turn all night all you like
I’ll be next to you quiet and still, in the dark
When the light comes gleaming I’ll stare at your soft face
In the morning I hope you’ll owe me a sweet embrace
I’m not looking forward to the chase
I just want you, you, you
And me, me, me
Intertwined in your bedroom, the cafe, the playground
Push me down onto the ground
Oh dear, what have I found
I’ll turn over, laughing, and say
“You’re the most perfect boy around town”
I just want you, you, you
And me, me, me
Intertwined
Fiddle leaf fig ficus
Table for two
On second avenue
You hate parking in downtown
Cooling down because I’m feeling hot
Your body, your cave, inside me it rots
Chaos drips like afternoon sun
Slowly rising again the next day
My love life isn’t improving
You’re not gentle, you’re sharp
I skip down the street like a little girl
You smile at me from behind
Recognizing what I do doesn’t work
You’re so far away from me
Excited for you to buzz your head
I melt when you call me pretty
You standing across from me
I’m in love, I’m in love
You walking away from me
I’m in love, I’m in love
I’m in love
You gave me your band name to listen on Spotify
Tell you what I think
You never read my poetry
That’s a bit unfair don’t you think
The loneliness you describe
I felt it too
I was there too
I melted into you
Spilled black ink on my clothes
Right under your nose
I found where you were hiding
And you came out of that place
And it’s been years coming
Black hoodie and white lace
Now I’m replaying your song
Knowing you and I would get along
Now I’m replaying your song
Knowing you and I would get along
Won’t you write me another song
There’s things I want to say to you
Gently
Softly
So as to not rock the mountains of the world
Behind the wire fence
That cut your arm
I want to tell you that I love you
That I still love you
No matter what
No matter what tar you find yourself in
I’m at the edge of the bend
With you
You come over tired from work
Speak to me
I turn your words into poetry but they come out like
Daggers
Uninterrupted, unhinged
You’re on another alcohol binge
And I am playing it safe like I am your mother
Taking care of you when you let me, as long as you let me
Rubbing alcohol for your wound
I let it drip and sit
You stare at the ceiling with those dashing brown eyes
They’re not like any other guys’
And I have to tell you again
That I love you
I still love you
And I’ll love you again & again
To you my heart will tend
Over & over & over again
