Hearing their laughter
As I hop down the steps
Tomato toast
Powdered sugar
Keeping cards to my breast
Freshly mowed grass
And baby blue eyes
If I could
I’d stop clocks
on these moments
for life

I know now
it's the small things

the moments in between

Sunchips and FunDip
sand under my feet
The smell of the dirt
tired but sweet
As am I

As am I

She set you on fire
Turned your world upside down
Now I lie on your throne
but she still wears your crown

Disorient me
Dizzy, deep beneath the sheets
You breathe in all my hushed, sharp shudders
Crimson colored
but you don't mind

Your soft lips tease my blushing neck
as strong arms pin me down
Surround me, drown me
Make me, break me
Hold me, hurt me
Eat me, beat me
until I plead you to stop

And then beg you for more

Tailored suit
Hot tea
LA
Mid-day
I had been waiting for something
and nothing at all

Highlighter ink and bold text
But you were bolder

You said that you would be remiss
but you don't know I've been dismissed
more often than not

Fascination and mystery
Your eyes see me much differently
But will you call?

And would I answer?
