14.4.10

13 April 2010

long distance isn't really long
when i get to see you consistently,
but just a little jump in sight
can burn and tear
im so lovingly attached,
choked up on words,
cut in half by the way you hold me,
destroying me with such exquisite care,
you play pretend,
gauge out my brown eyes,
grab my black hair
whip lash down my back
I'm ensnared
But I know the game we both play,
makes us think we don't want what we know we can't do without
all we ever.
You know what?
It's not like the movies.
It's something better.
Run to you under a city sunset
pavement scratches my feet
but you love my dirty toes
and and my filthy lips
which have cursed and sailor sworn
like i'm a pirate
but you love me
