2006, top of the ninth and I'm still striking out
Posted: August 4th, 2006, 10:56 am
I'm so without you my heart could break
but I go easy on you
take it easy on you
don't pour it on thick like I want to
I am all gushing torrent
shield of emotion
backing away though all I want to do is move forward
I write I don't say
is it the smothering choking loving
is it the quickstep slow dance frenzy of it
is it the mothering ga-ga ing
is it the way I want to hold you so close
and never let go
is it the panting heavy breathing orgasmic desire
that you inspire in me
I am allover-you-can't-get-enough
a blanket of softest crush
seducing you
and yet
you don't seem to feel my touch
my featherlight whispering
looking in the mirror I see
discarded promise
empty pleas
and an ocean of wonder
on far-off seas
I see eyes on fire
and no one to please
and you
and me
and you
and me
and
you and me
but I go easy on you
take it easy on you
don't pour it on thick like I want to
I am all gushing torrent
shield of emotion
backing away though all I want to do is move forward
I write I don't say
is it the smothering choking loving
is it the quickstep slow dance frenzy of it
is it the mothering ga-ga ing
is it the way I want to hold you so close
and never let go
is it the panting heavy breathing orgasmic desire
that you inspire in me
I am allover-you-can't-get-enough
a blanket of softest crush
seducing you
and yet
you don't seem to feel my touch
my featherlight whispering
looking in the mirror I see
discarded promise
empty pleas
and an ocean of wonder
on far-off seas
I see eyes on fire
and no one to please
and you
and me
and you
and me
and
you and me
