i like you so marry me.

6/21/10

You wrap me around your finger

So you can feel the thrill

The thrill we love to feel.

The waves in your stomach

Almost ready to escape your tongue

In streams of words that are temporally felt

The feelings fade.

But the words stay to haunt me while I sleep.

Lingering in the places they escaped

Until the remote location no longer exist on my map.

Thrown out like the six month old corn bread we baked

And the watermelon we cut.

This vicious cycle seems endless but in time we’ll know

Love isn’t rare and life is long.

My numb personage can only exist through this cycle.

So don’t you dare let it stop

And I’ll promise on your heart

I’ll never feel again.

Not About You: for once

We lack inspiration

We live in rotation from one feeling to the next

Never actually feeling.

Until one time we do, we feel as we’re meant to feel

We see as we’re meant to see

We don’t want to go back to the way we were before

Life is no longer shadows reflected on the wall

Its color and light and love.

I want to share this color and light and love

Hoping to find an open ear

I came to you

To help you escape the life of reflected shadows on the wall.
