The lack of slumber
Left in me a hunger
Left heart asunder
For touch of lover
These late nights
And dim lights
Leave my arms open
Wider than my eyes
These rain clouds
And small towns
Leave my lips locked
Like a bedroom door
These rain drops
And blood clots
Leave my clothes
Lying on the floor
These stranger kisses
Hip caresses
Leave me in bed
My mind slipping out the door
Your overcompensation
For lack of sentimentality
Used to be flattering
But its… mood shattering
How will you know
When you find love
When you see it under
Every rock
How will you know
When to be mad
When you’re ignoring
Any of my cue cards?
How can you ever be
Truly happy, when
You tell yourself you
Already are?
Don’t tease yourself
And don’t kid me either
You want love and dreams
But you can kill either
