Unoriginality
Here's an unoriginal verse for you
About how you make the world anew
About your smile
Warming me like the sun
Making my heartstrings come undone
Here's a predictable rhyme
For how I love to spend my time
Thinking of you
Appreciating just how much
I get to feel your tingling touch
I may not be creative
In explaining how I live
Entangled with you
Being original makes no difference
When love is just an instance
Sorry
I'm sorry I made you love me
I'm sorry I did it twice.
I'm sorry I made you love me
It wasn't very nice.
Don't hate me all your life.
Or even all of mine.
Life is too short to hate to love
So let's pretend it's fine
Don't hit me with that hammer
Or I'll club you with my heart
At least you will feel it -
Like you wanted from the start
But I'm sorry I made you love me
Because now I love you, too
I'm sorry I made you love me
And I wish those words were true.
Seasoned
Raindrops on my window
Thunder in my chest
I should have known
Lightening would be the test
You looked up at me with sunlight
Spring fresh on your breath
I should have known
Your ocean's never-ending depth
But I didn't see this coming
Like wind in the fall
And now my leaves are turning
There's pollen on us all.
Mistakes
Hush.
The baby's crying.
He doesn't know you're here.
Quiet.
They might see us.
Don't stand so very near.
Stop.
It's gone too far.
We've done something to fear.
Look.
He's got a knife.
You shouldn't have come here.
Leave.
I can't be with you.
I'm wiping this conscience clear.
Don't forget
Don't forget me when you leave,
Or soon, I won't exist.
Don't forget I'm still your person
Even when someone else is.
Don't forget I loved you first,
Well, that's not true at all.
Don't forget I loved you best,
I've made such a long fall.
Don't forget the lies I told
But know that they weren't true.
Don't forget my life is different
Each day that misses you.
Don't forget I didn't leave
Now your reasons are a blur.
Don't forget that I'm here
And it's as if you never were.
Don't forget that I'm a liar
And nothing I say has proof.
Especially, don't forget that I love you.
Fortune was never so aloof.
Magic Words
Words flow through like magic,
Enchanted wand and all.
They sing rhythmic music
With notes that never fall.
So much solace they provide
While I'm staring at the wall.
Surrounding me in phrases,
Many lofty and some small.
I'm never alone with words
And so, I cherish every call.
My ear is now so keen
Listening for their order tall
But it never is a bother
To create, share, enthrall;
Sing to me all night, Words.
I want to hear them all.
