Unattentive

• Backed onto a wall • Lips together • Unattentive to the stormy weather • Spending hours in the room • Sweeping her away like a broom • Muttering sweet nothings in-between breaths • My heart doing backflips in my chest • I used to worry if I cause her stress • I can finally put that thought to rest • She showers me with compliments • That trump any doubt • We're back at it again and things get dark • "Oh hey, the lights went out!"
