With my heart on my sleeve....

[ButterflyKiss]

Please do not elude me
with the things you think I want to hear
exclude me from the truth.

It's you I want to know
discard the lies, forget the disguise.

Haven't you witnessed when I've cried?
Too many tears you've dried
for someone else's lies.

It's no surprise I love you
I just want to know more of you
know you in every way
I take the words you speak to heart
I cherish them everyday.

You should see
I wear my heart
on my sleeve.

You in my life
is what I need.

[Steve Plonk]

Butterfly kiss, your poem is lyrical and could make a great song, too.

I would completely love that....words come to me in such an interesting way...seems a little crazy but they come to me in sounds but not even real words, they have a beat or rhythm...hard to put to words truthfully. They run through my head until I can't stand it for one more second and have to put them on paper. I've had this affliction since I was a kid.

If you know of anyone that would like to do just that, put them to music, I would love to collaborate with them, just to see what they could truly be....
