I breathe in thick air,
its stale edges scratch against my tongue
and I find my mind in tangles
… it’s staggering through this rainy day.
I never wanna leave your arms,
just can’t keep myself in tune,
cause it’s too damn hard not to want you
… I’m so impatient these days.
But in an instance, it’s good riddance,
cause it seems so useless now
to ever want a thing
… nothing seems to go my way.
All those signals flickered
and swept me off my feet,
yet somehow I still missed um
… guess all I saw was you.
And I know it’s foolish for me to tremble,
but you’re voice, it makes my skin crawl,
and I break to think of touching you
… but oh I think of touching you.
And I still wish you’d touch me one more time,
or whisper one more word,
and oh if you’d just kiss me
… well then you’d see that I’m still yours.

I breathe in thick air,
its stale edges scratch against my tongue
only you can think of a phrase so wickedly enticing...

Do you take classes for this sort of thing? I mean, you're quite fantastic at the whole making-me-blush-and-feel-like-an-awesome-writer thing
haha

well not to sound conceited I am pretty much fantastic at everything I set my mind to do, but complimenting you is easy, because you are such a great writer & partially because I would like to know you better.

This is tragically beautiful. I know how it feels. Sometimes it just never seems to work out right. When you have something so beautiful and perfect and then things just slip apart.

I like that your style is different, the way you arrange the stanzas. I like this poem a lot, good luck.
