She Stopped By Unexpectedly
I just saw you.
The other day.
You were so nice.
You looked so great.
Such emotion
when we two meet!
You are so tough.
You are so sweet.
For a moment
I saw you melt
When I hugged you
and love we felt.
How do I tell
These things inside?
How to confess
These things I hide?
You fill me up,
then leave me empty.
You push me back,
then you tempt me.
You cut me deep.
You patch me up.
You make me thirst.
You fill my cup.
You make me cold.
You make me burn.
You make me flee.
You make me yearn.
All of these things
you do to me
And so much more
you’ll never see.
Is this love real
or just a toy?
Am I your man
or just a boy?
Is this for now?
Now together?
Just your dalliance
or forever?
Can I stay true?
Fidelity?
Can you open
yourself to me?
I am your love
you seemed to say.
But you left and
pushed me away.
Then just get out!
Leave me alone!
Get off my couch!
Now leave my home!
Don’t walk away!
Don’t ever go!
You have to stay!
Please come back home!
I will let you bind me I will let you show me
I will let you blind me I will let you know me
I will let you grind me I will let you grow me
I will let you find me
Please come and find me
I will be bold
and I will mold
myself to you,
if you I hold.
Please just show me
that there are ways.
That there’s a path
past youthful days.
I’m almost there.
I’m almost ready.
I’ll be better.
I’ll be steady.
I’ll never know you.
But I will try to
do what I can do
Because I love you.
