Month: November 2019

Let me look beneath the cover
I want to read your story
Tell me all the secrets
Every word you hide
Beyond the bindings
Mind, body, and soul
I want to devour every inch
Until I know and understand
I want to explore
I want to know you completely
Inside and out

I don’t want to miss you
But I can’t help it
It’s you that gets me through
The thought of your lopsided smile
Or that hidden twinkle in your eyes
Threatening to break free
You bring me a joy
That I’ve never felt before
And I can’t help it
You’re addictive
Intoxicating
And I can’t resist you
No matter how I try
Or how much I should

I’ve been staring at the wall
For what seems like a lifetime
trying to find the courage
to say just what I feel
but every time I choke on the words
So long I spent searching
For someone like you
That it feels like some kind
Of cosmic joke
That I’d find what I wanted
What I needed so bad
Just out of reach
In the arms of another
and so I guess
I have to keep hunting
trying to find another like you
but you’re right there
so close
so perfect
but I can’t take the shot
can’t speak
can’t take the risk
of missing
and losing
and never finding you again

I fell too far
Too hard
And now I’m stuck here
Flat on my face
While you walk on by
What else would you do?
No promises
Nothing owed
Nothing given
Just my own screwed up head
Reading into things
I never should’ve seen
I think I’ll stay here for awhile
Put myself back together
And let you pass
Because to get back up now
Would be to fall again
And this time
Not all the pieces may be found
