Here's to Hoping

After I met him, he stole all my words-

he extracted them from my throat with his silver tongue

There wasn't a story I wrote that he hadn't left his tone on

they weren't mine anymore

It was only silk spun tales of the way he kissed me,

and left bruises that made me wish they were scars

Even if he was neither the antagonist or protagonist,

the lines were all about who I wasn't admitting I was thinking of

Whether at the movies or laying alone in the grass,

he was the star

Cause at night or even in broad daylight

there has only been one guarding and protecting

my imaginative and deprecating designs
