the south florida rainforest

her happier eyes

brilliant even in the sun

but she has a rough feel to her soul

she walks along the hot sidewalk with a dozen bags in arm

looks like it would tire an army of horses

but she says shes fine

"don't bug me with that 'good guy shit'

know your good, just not right now...

cause id rather be mad"

 

three thirty in the pool of a streetlight

we both swim in reasons

we both have battleships on fire

and its really only the hot humid air that keeps the blow by blow going

 

by dawn we are curled up in a park

miles from home

making love cause there aint much left to say

shes still mad

but shes ready to cry

i tell her i'm wrong

but we both know that don't matter

we both are just confused by the her that aint here

we are just confused by what should be

 

her happier eyes brilliant like twin starlight trains

keep speeding over me

and i keep kissing her hand

cause it s the nice guy thing to do

two hopeless romantics lost in the south florida rainforest
