__Untie me from your thoughts__ —
acting loose from your love;
not what I should’ve known.
Knot-tongued,
unable to say what I’m really feeling
inside the chambers of my heart.
Dumpling cheekbones
feeding off your smile —
_it's a soft scene_.
But all of our best actions
still aren’t worth a movie screen.
And aren’t we looking
a little too scripted
in front of our peers?
__You__ —
my original promissory note.
Please take note
of every step you take in my mind,
scribbling down your movements
like wandering footnotes.
________________________________________
There’s also the shaking __trial of courtship__ —
in the jaws of both judges.
You say what you want —
and it turns out to be
exactly what I don’t.
You try to live in my thoughts,
but I’m still __renting that house__.
No roots, no keys —
just memories on a month-to-month lease.
________________________________________
To say every man is just, "a dog" —
their barking mingles on,
chasing their own tails,
returning to the ones who wronged them
as if _they_ were wrong.
But the dog’s got a bone to pick,
and it contests every bone.
________________________________________
__Truth is__ —
this, like our love,
was never meant
to be a love poem.

Countless songs and poems
Dedicated to one thing
How a simple little word
Could be so inspiring
When I see that others have it
It makes a lot more sense
But when I think of it coming for me,
It's something I resent
Looks flawless from a distance
Desirable at times
But quickly many things can change
If you read between the lines
A drug that is both addicting
And causes enough harm
There's no chance of falling victim to its sneaky charm.
Why is this concept so easy
For everyone to grasp
While I'm out drowning
Waiting for this irrational fear to pass...
