How do I put things
Write
Like there's no tomorrow
I don't want another sleepless night
Where my words disappear when
All that you are asking of me is that I use them
I just want to love you
Like there's no tomorrow
At least
No more of them without you in
What am I so afraid of?
I am petrified frozen in time
And trapped in useless
Cycles of thought
That I don't know the rules
That I will only find
The wrong words
That they won't be
Write
And you will see all my flaws
Designate me lost cause
Losing you would be
To lose all those moments of daily wonder
At how easily you can spark a smile up on my face
All those potential flips of the stomach
Heart bursting instances of happiness
Of making extra room for the abundance of love you encourage
I try to catch some of these words with my pencil
marking that they do exist
and hope to make them more
Manifest
In the moment of asking
To be invoked
In conversation
Rather than resigned to this one action
Where I try to process
At distance find the words
The ones that feel
Write
I worry because I want the words that I weave
To make a cosy web to catch your attention
And gently
Scoop you up
Into the same feelings of loveliness
That abound in me
When I think of you
