I cant help but ask why.
Why did she become my friend way back in year 12.
She was so funny, and kind, and perfect.
so perfect.
Why would she choose to spend time with me.
I wasn't fun.
I was quiet, and sad most of the time.
But she chose to stay with me.
A year has past and I'm still asking why.
Why did she kiss me after walking me home in the rain.
She's gorgeous and can get whoever she likes.
I've never met anyone like her.
She deserves the world,
and i will never understand why,
but in her eyes,
i am her world.
too original to accept flowers
your love tank fills by the hour
'tis I, the wonder of your dreams
confessing to a bed of such steams.
You, of milk chocolate-like coloured eyes
mesmerize these thoughts of mine,
I could never neglect all that we've become.
My oh my, we're still quite sparked to flame,
who knows when we will be put out?
But before then,
could you do me the honour,
cherish this moment in time
laced with clothing of pure-white
lie here in candle-lit paradise
all food favourites and the dry red wine
televised scenes just like old times,
indulge with me, on me, this evening,
as my Valentine.

I am a girl with a body made of soil. We catch falling embers of fire in our bare hands with laughter;
And later I catch your eye across the dance floor. I can't find a way to open my mouth.
I dreamt once that Aphrodite was a human soul with her arms full of lilies, and I dreamt once that you were a sun-kissed god remaking my bones into wildflowers.
Please, love, devour me.
lesbian love
sweet love
lesbian love
true love
saw her sitting on a
picnic table
thought maybe I should try
but no was the answer
as I walked by
said it was lesbian love
girl love
lesbian love
hot love
lesbian love
true love

Heated these shores, whereupon passion bears her grip...
A lady in love with another woman, and how can she deny this
Stirring deep inside racing through her veins the rapture, of her heart.
