From the Corner

You know... I have this craving They say at my age That a base, hormonal Rage Is basically part of The teenage package You know... I have this feeling I have this longing Have a need Standing, silently pleading Reeling in the tide When that moment-- your eyes on mine Pulls me under The flutter of hearts Amplified, almost like A clap of thunder And I wonder, Is it just me Sitting in the corner Knees to chest Doing my best To keep my eyes Glued to the floor Waiting for a door To open And hopefully Somebody Anybody Will join me Together we'll hide from the storm Keep our souls aflame Our bodies warm To each others touch Pulses rushing With nowhere to go Except closer
