The smile that sparks my soul
My checks burning red with my heart beating out of my chest
The feeling starts to subside
When fear starts to tear me down
Does your heart skip a beat every time we meet
Or do your feelings stop at the whites of your teeth
Technology makes me want to sing to you at every minute
But every text doesn't sound like the right tone
I hold back with the thought of smothering
This old soul knows better then to clip an angels wings
So instead I sit
Wondering if we may ever be in love
I know this could be true
And I know I could love you
But even in my souls age
The thought of a lady saying no is still my biggest fear

The color red is what pushes blood through my heart
The color blue is what freeze's your every part
Your touch is as cold as the top of a mountain
My feeling isn't enough to thaw your glacier
When I woke up this morning I knew what to do
When you walked in the room I lost my feeling to spew
My words fade faster then these feelings ever will
But feelings grow stronger when you are dressed so true
I think I love you but It's Not Fair

Him
Shy as the nights sky
Her
Bright as the suns might
You
The one I see
The one I want to please
Me
The one you pass
The one you sit next to in class
We
The ones to be
The ones that will never be

As I sit and watch the world go round
I can't help but laugh at the misfortune we are bound
Humans basic pleasures make any man proud
But all of his feelings have just run aground

I have fought to hard for this life to just end
But what chose dose a man have when he play's with sin
And quite whispers speak of pleasure and gin
I know there will be peace right before my fine

This gateway to the endless adventure is closing
So let me just stop laying and poising
As times journey for me keeps unfolding
My feeling and emotions will never stop growing

Gravity's crawl reality reaping justice on my mind
Could this be the night that I leave this all behind
Or do St's sing my name
As the demons drag my hid  
Any promise for tomorrow
Seems to fade and crack though time
With thoughts of careless planning
Brings thoughts of carefree sinning
In the end it's only me
All alone in this family tree
Heaven begs my name
As the devil calls my number

Innocence can be washed by inebriated leaps
When one person speaks with incoherent speech
Regardless the belief when a simple man weeps
His heart beats for two and this thought I hope you keep
James Odell Feb 2013
I catch a bullet in my teeth every time I hear you speak
You have me kneeling in my sleep and it's becoming very weak
I fumble in the street trying to find some ******* peace
Now my drink has grown a leak and I'm puking in a heap

— The End —
