There's a paint smear on my arm, And it means a little more to me, Than it does to everyone else. It makes me smile to see my labours, Are written all over me, And covering me in love. There's a boombox on my window, A stereo on top of my cassette player, A radio that's 30 years old. Everyone throws these away for a minimum price, But I adore them, My children. A smell rubbed into a page Because words just **** me, It means everything. I open my book and inhale the scent, Remembering when I thought, That brand of perfume wasn't that strong. I hold certain things very dear, As silly as they may be, They mean a lot to me. Just dont return my heart, Because it means more to you, Than it ever would to me.
