Dangerous is the idle mind
Consumed by thoughts of you
Day and night
Fabricating reasons for
Your every word and action
Words and actions that held
No special reason
Dangerous is my idle mind
Wishing you’d think of me
All the time
Paprika Nov 2018
Black, grey, blue
The colours you donned
Though your eyes sparkled
An infinite kaleidoscope
Your body so small
But imagination so broad
Even leprechauns are drawn
To your promise of gold

What more I

Promises of undying love
Eternal longing
Now so easily broken
Were your words so easily spoken
Why did you speak them

Still I dream
While I’m trapped in your rhythm
In the limbo
I chose to stay within

Our love in the Winter
Did not weather till Spring
As we said our Goodbyes
At the end of a Fling

Friday night
Music blasting
Bodies dancing
I stay home
To catch you on the phone

We drink
And say silly stuff
We cry
And say hurtful stuff

Friday nights
Over the screen
Because I’d rather be
With you

You kissed me first
Confessed your affections
I was frightened
I pushed you away

I kissed you next
Curious for your touch
You were uncertain
But you stayed

You said you loved me
I was unsure
Before I knew it
You moved away

Incessant thinking
Affirmed my love for you
But now it's too late
To make you stay

If only I knew I loved you
When you loved me
I can no longer hold onto you
When you keep moving away

— The End —
