I thought
I wouldn’t need you
To hold my hand
Once I made it out
Made it
To what seemed
Like safety
But
I’ve grown accustomed
To the thought of you
Next to me
Pressed to me
Whispers in my ear
The feeling of your heart
So near
I keep telling myself
It is make believe
You’re just a muse
Something to inspire
Make me move
Pass the time
But
My heart
My mind
Has become tangled
Joining
My imaginary empire
And the dullness of my days
I dream
Of seeing you
Hearing your words
Pour out
Of that mouth
I want to throw
Morality
Out of the window
Jump in my car
Drive to you
But
My heart tells me
If I don’t
Respect your bonds
If you don’t respect
Your bonds
What is there
For us to build upon
I don’t know
What to do
My poetic side
Says scream it from
The rooftops
Yell it across oceans
Let nature
Time
Happen
Do you hear me?
I’m trying to yell
I’m trying to scream
Oh captain my captain
What should I do?
