The one

I’ll see you in every cup of coffee
I’ll miss you so
The way you quietly lied in my bed
The twitch of a finger

Together we reached
A world beyond us two
And I’d be lying if I didn’t say
That I’ll forever miss you

I couldn’t take the panic
You were filled with distrust
But I miss looking at your face
And feeling insatiable lust

You could have been the one
But you dropped the ball
You could have been the one
We could’ve had it all

He loves me

He loves me
He loves me not
I’m cutting fresh, wet apricots

In the passenger seat
Photographs of outside
I wish I was taking them of you

Can I own you
Can I have you
Sweet in my basin
Voluntary, but you want to stay
You want to stay

In the passenger seat
I want to say
I want to stay
I want

Rapture

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

Ficus tree

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

Rubbing alcohol

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
