Just a second in my mind


Can’t sleep cause I keep thinking Every moment that passes is weakening I keep wondering, keep sinking So blind with emotion I can’t see a damn thing

Now I'm left alone wondering why What did I do to make you say goodbye I promise all I wanted was to make you fly And I’m left again hanging high and dry

But when I fall it will be subliminal Like Alice in Wonderland This feeling should be criminal So big it just might be biblical But it hurts so much they say I’m critical

So put aside those feelings you hide I’m not asking to be your bride I just want to be someone you confide Someone you dance along side

To this song of life, one stride

So many words unspoken You’re more than just a token I understand you think you’re broken But baby you've been chosen

And I’ll take all those pieces and mold them I’ll even go get the ones they have stolen Together we'll navigate a shark filled ocean But we won’t care because we drank that love drunk potion

So here is my proposition I want you as my addition As long as I have permission Baby you'll be my mission I’m following intuition Together we'll greet the mortician Let’s go on this expedition We got enough ammunition No such thing as opposition Were bigger than nuclear fission

, I have a few conditions, A price for admission

Don’t be worried it’s not a lot I assure you’re not taking a long shot In fact it’s the size of a polka dot I’ve given it lots of thought So no need get distraught

Promise me no games I’ll just burn up in flames I want to be your claim I want to be the only name Promise you won’t place the blame And I wont do the same Let cupid aim, I’ll take the maim

I guess the question is the same I’m giving you the reins Listen to what’s pumping through your veins And tell me what remains?

When you figure it out Give me a shout I’ll be around no doubt If it turns out you want to check out That’s ok I wont pout

But if my luck pulls through And you feel just as much as I do Then all that’s left is me and you I that’s how I want it to!

This poem is about the first night that my sweetheart and I had a huge fight over something ridiculous. I wrote this is a way to get frustrations off my back.
