On some days
I sit by her side when shes got stars in her eyes wishing for you to come around
some days, you're all she thinks about
combining past experience with present circumstance
but it leaves the psyche confused
and the libido a little less then amused
when you're in her thoughts rotation.
And it isn't fair how you taunt her with your butterfly wings,
they shine in your eyes when you smile,
she says, she is always trying to make you smile
she would tickle you, if you didn't hate it
but she is mesmerized by your fire, no matter the tone
she says your voice seduces her from across the room
it bellows...
inside of her..
it echoes..
in her darkness,
each vibration, a crack in her defenses
and i'm sure she would lay down her arms,
if you set down yours
if you'd let go of the memory
the mistakes made in a transitional state
when her life was heavy
she was still learning to carry the weight
and along you came
at a meteoric rate
seemingly uninterested in anything else but self
seeming to be jumping from one relationship into the next and she couldn't get down like that
back then
ok
yes
i know
it wasn't that much time ago
but it was time enough for her to earn a little extra and get her shit together
so she'd have real time for you and not that bullshit that you accepted
she just wanted to be able to treat you better
but you took it as an insult, to say it was all her fault, thats more of a cop out
cause if you wanted to see her
wouldn't you have gone with her?
taken her home, not sent her out drunken with some folks she really didn't know?
not that anything happened
but it just so happens that you never ever asked her if she knew them
i don't mean to throw salt on a wound but
its just something you should consider,
personal responsibility in the choices we make
go a long way to shaping the perception of others
but she doesn't seem to want any others
she just wants to be with you
I think she's confused, she says,
(her) heart is begging for answers
but (i) brain doesn't have a clue what to tell her
when she says
her third eye's vision is clouded
when its gaze lands on you
cause
this camaraderie is so damn comfortable yet the nonchalance is
smothering
she keeps being a friend when there's clearly more between you
you keep going along, all business as usual, and i'm sure you know exactly what you do when you do what you doin
whatever it is,
please for "my friend's" sake
either go all in
or step away from the table.
