You and me
We share unfinished conversation and broken sentences
And in between the moments interrupted
Are long white tenses.
We swim in a sea of great big ears
And look at a sky of wide eyes
And there on the shore
A hundred mouths or more
Ready to Shout
Out
LOUD
All the snippits and snappets
Spread like butter
All bittered and battered
How would you like some feelings on your toast
To haunt you like a ghost
Just something shared
Just some kind care
So why's it lying there
Shivering and bare
So I'm writing and thinking and fighting and tempted
To crawl through the floor
I'm lying on my bed
trying to remember what was said
Some kind of question
To try or test me
What kind answer
Will rest me.
I've got feelings with no voice
Feelings with no choice
Over what they are
Despite what I said about owning your own star
Sometimes I wonder
Do stars unite
In the night
And are feelings
Something to fight?
You know if I could I would
Love you
And shouldn't
Just wouldn't
Know.
