Poetry is True
Poetry is true
But what if I'm running circles around you
We're caught in our love letters and lost graces
We're lost in thought as we chase stars
mingling with each other's bodies and finding
Struggling to part but still stay true
Trying to admit that I've fallen in love with you
My doubts lurk in darkness like the monsters I fear
Your sincerity is calming I love when you're here
Practice makes perfect but perfection is deception
Against the flaws and ignorance I'm so used to having
One blink and I'm gone again, lost in my mind
Fairytale dresses battle superhero costumes
Now the girls bathroom battles the boys bathroom
I'm at a standstill
But we'll cause no commotion
