Sometimes
somebody rearranges somebody else's life
They traipse across relationships
without being asked
and snuggle in your heart
if you want them there or not
sometimes
sometimes
Everybody
oughta have a Somebody
a key to fit perfectly
in the lock to their heart
a jelly to your peanut butter
a cookie side to your cream side
(insert your clever saying here)
everybody
oughta have their own You because
sometimes
you happen to be on a couch
watching Garden State
and yawning at key points
with your two best friends
wishing only the couch existed
and there was nothing else
to occupy your time and nobody
else to occupy your time and
nothing else except for
Garden State and the couch
and your two best friends

Sometimes
You just have the urge to write something awful. It's pretty self explanatory. I was reminiscing on a extremely content time when I was, well, sitting on a couch with my two best friends, exhausted from a long night with no sleep and wishing I could be there instead of anywhere else in the whole wide world.
Who knew rural Indiana could be so peaceful? (if only for a moment...)

Excellent
This is a very creative piece. Sometimes sound wonderful to those who don't always know it. Great job. -
Of course rural Indiana is peaceful, there's only corn and beans to occupy the space
Hmm... Interesting set up.
"(insert your clever saying here)"
Kind of reminds me of your poem where you said, that's so cliche, or something like that and someone posted a comment saying you shouldn't have that in there if it's so cliche.
Hmm... Been on a draught lately haven't we? Not too many poems as of late. All well, guess you're back at it. Good times
