Crash

Like a glance I catch you In between seemingly innocent exchanges When you lean slowly in like the deaf and the dumb With your underhanded handiness Your adorable strangeness Oh, how I see through right through your fragile facade Sweet girl, boyfriended, gorgeously flawed The question is: do you see it in me, too? I am forbidden, But what is that to you? A rule? Tell no one and no one will know You and I are star-crossed and wander back even so Fall into bed Crash like porcelain, picture frames, plain-faced wives You can’t hide the curiosity quivering behind your eyes At first I smile as you warily bide your time When I know, just as well, That you soon will be mine.
