100 Cups of Tea
Part Four: I should have chose you. I should have chose you. I should have chose you. -I didn’t know
You caught my eye
Can I take you in?
Bright
With a magnetic pull
Soft
Up close -You and the flowers
I wish you knew
And maybe you do
How much
I love
To see you
When I pass by -Shopping just to see you
I wish I could tell you
Can’t you just
Break down the wall
And hold me
I want to live
In beautiful
Weird
And exciting
Moments
With you
And not just
Passing through
Passing by
I want to stay
I want you to stay
At least stay delicious
In my dreams -Stay
Your smile feels like home
If we ever speak
Can you
Just tell me something
True
Drowning
Confused -No words
He let her smile fall to the floor. -I was brave
Don’t you know I need the truth like air?
(Without your words I can’t go anywhere.) -Only you
You’re not dead to me
You only
Stand out
More -Dried up life
If I was a flower
You would pick me
Right? -Notice me
I have mermaid dreams
Of in the lake
Of in your arms -Arm tattoo
I want a baby at the beach
Beautiful life
For you
And me -Soft landing
All the comfort
In 100 cups of tea
Sad, pretty songs
And sunshine
Still
Aren’t you
Looking at me -What were you looking for?
Sprinkle some magic on the way you love me. -Bright eyes
Let me grab you by your soft love. -Moving clouds
You are my fried egg
On toast
Wildflowers
And so good mornings -Simple amazing
My heart’s blood
Is slowly draining
Through this hole
Until you tell me
What you know
That I don’t -When
Let me peak inside your messy mind -Shadows
You would be the icing on my cake -Added sweetness
You won’t even show up in my dreams. -Just a feeling
I love and hate
How my imagination
Can take me
Places
I may never
Be again
A one time
Thought experience
And sometimes
I just want
To stay there
You’re holding me
Skin to skin
And it feels
So fucking amazing!
But only I will know -Single mother fantasies
At least I tried
To share my heart
But most
Hearts
Don’t beat
For me
Or maybe
All
I guess will see -Rewind
You mean
Fantasy to my mind
Mean magic to my heart
Mean feeling to my touch
Sex to my want -And more
There are so many ways
To touch someone’s heart
I already know
I’m enough
But I still want to grow
With you
And touch your heart too -Shared hearts
No matter what happens
You gave me one thing
You
Saw
Me -Not too many do
I thought I saw you
And my heart sank
I didn’t see you
And my heart sank -When I go out now
I don’t know what to think
I don’t know what to feel
I don’t know what to say
What’s even real?
I honestly don’t know what to do
And the only person
I want to talk to about it
Is you -You and a poem
You are my butter, cream, and in between the sheets. -More is better
I noticed you
Even when
I didn’t realize
I saw you look away
From your book
To smile at
A little girl in her stroller
I heard you say
You like to get dressed up
For weddings
I felt you
Looking at my back
Through my sheer shirt
I think I made you nervous
And I had no idea
Why?
You are the softest
Of all
A little rough
Around the edges
Sexy sweetheart -The details that stay with us
I guess because he told me
It was impossible
For someone
To love me
It makes me
Want it even more -One of my dreams
You made me stop wanting him
But now I only want you -You did it with your eyes
