Maybe fire was kept from man for a reason
to keep the burnings at bay
Yet each heart is its own Prometheus
We generate heat but not often enough light

"I think you're really beautiful and I feel really warm when I'm around you and my tongue swells up."

I think you're really handsome and I feel strangely flushed when I'm around you and my heart swells up.

Here you are
It's 3 AM and you find yourself trying to write your next great poem
and you're ****** at yourself because you ate all of those calories
and you feel betrayed by Mr. Bubble because even he can't make you feel better
Water so cold it's hot
Water so hot it's cold
You crack your knuckles under that water
And oh what an odd sound it makes
You think the faucet is cranked tight
but still it drips
Drips, drips
drips
Rippling into your puddle of scripted dreams

Yes

you will never ask the question I yearn to hear, this I know
but I am certain my answer would be yes
yes yes yes
yes vehemently shouted
yes breathlessly whispered
yes, just yes
over and over again

you enable me
you toy with me
you puzzle me
you frick with me, you frack with me
you scatter my thoughts
my wits
my heartstrings
but you also make me laugh
and that kind of trumps everything else

I know I know I know
I know how this song goes
Your lyrics persuade my ears into believing that you wrote it for me
Your melody rocks my heartstrings
and rolls over me like a tidal wave of confetti
in celebration of the day we first met;
a day when the world was still and silent
All for a single piano
playing a song
that would come to be our own

I like that you are a boy
and that I am girl
and that your hands are bigger
than mine when they slow dance

I like that you compliment me
Although I like that you
complement me more

I like that you could hurt
me if you wanted to
and I like that I trust you won't
