DreamyDespair

She slipped and tripped onto the street

It happened so awkwardly

I helped her get back to her feet

She sits there every morning

I’m sneaking glances and I can’t stop

She reads her book, I think I’m falling

The temptress calls

They come and linger

She’s got them wrapped

Morning’s light brings you into the view

I rub my eyes to see you clearer

Your deep brown eyes and speckled freckles

“Love is pain” is what they say

Kindness begins to falter

Even the priest told her

This was our special spot

I remember the things we’d do

That’s why I came here tonight

It wasn’t so much your tricks

But rather living in your magic

It wasn’t so much the crash and burn

There wasn’t any evidence

Not even a shroud

Until you went and said

I thought of you as night drew near

And laid there, in bed, for a while

I couldn’t get past your lonely eyes

The candle’s wax which once stood tall

Melted away right on the spot

Your burning love that made me fall

He said it didn’t work out

I wondered how that could be

She told me he was her soulmate

Lovely

It’s warm conversations

And a jacket when it’s cold

It’s the awkward hesitations

I was lost in the sauce

Spread within the crumble

I wasn’t the bee’s knees

I wonder if she misses

My kisses laying bare

Dancing in the moonlit sand
