The phone rings in the late night
Heart heavy, soul weak
Conscious says avoid the call until daylight
But with desperate need her voice began to speak

With creeping feet and a hopeful heart
The sorry girl ran to his car
Young and reckless smiling in the dark
The two travel to the nearest bar

No words be said, no thoughts be shared
Cold drinks have become enough
Palm to palm, eye to eye
Searching for something other than a lie

One, two, three, and four
Hearts become empty and the beer becomes warm
A love like this is something unknown
But they enjoy it too much to let it get old

He takes her to his car and he touches her face
No time for practice he's started the game
Clothes fall off at rapid pace
Screams begin to echo like a lion being tamed

Hot, sweaty, and satisfied he goes
Leaving her alone, in her ripped apart clothes
She sits on the floor with her heart bleeding out
Another night full of life ending with doubt

If a love poem is only written by a poet,
then I'd be the best poet because of my love for you.
If a love song is only written by a songwriter,
then I'd be the best songwriter because of my love for you.

I may not be the perfect person for you,
but I promise I'll try my best to make you happy.

I love you.
She thinks you light up the sun.
You think she turned on the stars.

She adds beauty to life already grand.
You make her happy in a way she hasn’t been.

She’ll be loyal.
She’ll be loving.
She is broken.
She is learning.

You’ll be funny.
You’ll be musical.
You are different.
You are needed.

She is…
You are…

In love.
This was written in 2006.
Your head on my chest:
thumping hare and cerebral mess,
the electricity and disconnects
drove my rhythms out of breath.
I didn't know that this was you:
a tantalizing wit in lieu
of the neurological faculty to
feel my chest pounding for you.
You are a palpable glitch,
with a brute heart and incisive wit:
my form deflated under it,
I gasp, writhe, and then submit.
My eager sentiment waits for the sound
of your breath catching then and now
and I think that you'll come around
when you grasp at me and moan aloud.
But you are steadily in place,
I, silly hare running a race, breathless face
your backward truth, the callous fate,
the need you can't reciprocate.

— The End —
