You could tell she had been nervous



Her lips were all ripped

My chest spasms...
Tightening vessels resemble bricks
Who knew that memories could feel so heavy
My eyes close for a moment
Flashes of your faces yank violently onto my optic nerves
While my brain attempts to circumnavigate
Turn regret into something easier said than done
My fists clench feeling hot and cold simultaneously
Air rushes into my wrinkled lips
While I breathe NEARLY all of this lingering essence out
Out of my lungs
And I try yet again to return to earth
Hearing an emphatic rhythmic pump
and your well–intentioned attempt to turn words into quietude

Her red dress frayed at the edges
like her nerves
her fingers tapped a lost beat
don't sweat it
but her fingers touched glistening drops of
liquid courage
borrowed like the lipstick staining the rim
keep a lid on it
heels loud against cement, echoing a rhythm
like rehearsed lines
the memories of which followed her coffee
and spilled
words eloquently falling in place, settling
like sugar on the bottom
hands stilled by their sweet murmurs
of her acceptance.

Subsequently locked up in your world from
faucets that I wash my hands from Thinking
about your incense And what it does to a man
like me mentally And physically embracing your
love  With every aspect of my human Genocide that
practically provokes my pride and takes away the only
piece of me if you died......
I loved your heart  And your intelligence,  
Got your back against the wall Halo bound , your soul Heaven sent,

You better make your mind up, do you want me or not?
You better make your mind up, do you want me or not?
You better make your mind up, do you want me or not?
You better make your mind up, do you want me or not?

The simple things I'm telling you result to things I
Make you believe in constantly changing your opinion
On life and death and lights in Japan making you wonder
Of the consciousness in the back of heads saying you
Better make you mind up
And I was tortured by your smile for long , it made me say things,
I was looking like I've never kiss a girl before in the rain,
Which I haven't,

You better make your mind up, do you want me or not?
You better make your mind up, do you want me or not?
You better make your mind up, do you want me or not?
You better make your mind up, do you want me or not?
