I have just enough time on this earth to love you fully
If you let me love you now
There is an eternity beyond this moment
Where we can go our separate ways
But while my soul is still trapped inside this
Messed up mound of flesh
It would love it if you joined mine
Let’s be messed mounds together
We’ll look less like human beings and more like drying play dough
And when your skin is cracked and your marble begins to
Shatter and lose its sheen
I will polish you off until my hands no longer work
A lifetime isn’t long enough to make things better
But it’s all I got
So don’t keep me waiting
Because I will be there even when you turn into a child again
And those “oops I crapped my pants” commercials will no longer be funny
We can be children together
Helpless until we finally go our separate ways
But let me love you until then
You are more than second chances
And more than redemption
You are the mouth singing softly
The song of fornication
Grapes juice themselves when you speak
And turn to wine
Your voice is that illicit
You still my stutter to speechless
You
cruel lady
Are so careless with the hearts you impale with your heels
On the rare occasions you wear them
And please stop throwing your head back when you laugh
Or speaking so softly that I feel I need to move closer
I can’t get any closer
Not without knowing you love me
Patience is for people who have the time to wait
I have a lifetime
And it isn’t nearly long enough
