I feel deeply
an emotion I hide as I smile sheepishly
a fear that I try to hold somewhat tenderly
and I fall even deeper
a shame I bury as I feign being debonair
a feeling I shut away and ignore
and these I do for I wear a mask or two
or maybe more who's to say the truth
but my favorite is the one I wore with you
who I really am, not even Blue could sleuth
and that's fine
feelings caught between two at a table
a table crowded with beer and ramen
a ramen you told me I'd like, and yeah, I did
and with you
I felt like I was a book, with dog-eared pages
just met, but talked like a ten year friendship
and pasts entwined
and with you
I knew I was a person, albeit broken hearted
not from soulmates lost but lives grieved
because you knew what that hole was
and with you
I'd melt under the stars in your eyes
as you spoke of constellations of your sky
and we sang about a Greek with guile
and with you
I'm a nobody but I felt I had an Odyssey
a trip where you'd have open arms
when others would speak of my heresy
and it's a pity ain't it
I'm going home now and writing with a mind
a mind half asleep running on gas station coffee
but caffeine is caffeine, and love is love.
