Under the summer stars I wish I could just hold you
close and never let go.
But you’ll walk out on me
for the thousandth time.
& the stars will watch you blunder
& you’ll realize that this mess you’ve made is an irreversible process
& you shouldn’t let it go to your head
But id like you to know I like you way to much for it to be love
& even more than lust.
All I want from you is your heart
& ill give you the key to mine.
--
So I’ll sleep on a bed of wires
attached to the power outlet
so I can face you every day
without ever breaking down.
But you use me way too much
& I soon turn off my heart and my emotions.
So you drop me and then someone else picks me up
& puts me back to rest on my bed of wires
so I stay without ever breaking down, with my new lifeline.
