Burdenless

Bear a Barren Burden with a Bravery-believing Soul,
Beautiful you…

Nestled inside my excruciatingly exciting noggin
You told me recently I’m not burdensome 
Bristled in my imagination
Is your kisses and embraces so handsome 

In the end, pretending I don’t exist
Won’t make me that excited,
But will exit the feelings into the numb mist 
You came out of nowhere uninvited 

Haunted by the voices in my head
Taunted by the words you have said
Repeated sayings stuck on reverse…
Broken records of a nightly curse

Invested in you for so long…whether I’m right or wrong 
You told me long ago I’m not burdensome
I’m a lullaby without a tune — a soulful, shameless song

Pretending I don’t exist
Won’t make me that excited,
But will exit the feelings into the numb mist 
You came out of nowhere uninvited 

Haunted by the voices in my head
Taunted by the words you have said
Repeated sayings stuck on reverse…
Broken records of a nightly curse

Longing for an unveiled heart-sight
Belonging in your arms tonight
Our dialect of love fills me up with all my might
Flowery pedals — so passionate, so powerful that it takes flight

Pretending I don’t exist
Won’t make me that excited,
But will exit the feelings into the numb mist 
You came out of nowhere uninvited 

Haunted by the voices in my head
Taunted by the words you have said
Repeated sayings stuck on reverse…
Broken records of a nightly curse

You told me sincerely and suddenly 
I’m not a burdensome man of endless sin
I told you pretty intensely and fearlessly
You’re my kind of handsome human
