Mild Thoughts

I wrote you a song
I bled and poured over it
As a master composer does his opus
Every note a symphony of who you are
I pushed myself to the edge and didn’t get far

Hands brought to exhaustion
Eyes blood shot and sore
Scouring every word
Dotted ‘i’
And crossed ‘t’

I tried to capture a dream
Only to find she was reality

Doesn’t that sound sweet?
But it could never be

My chest tightens
My muscles shake
My knees lose strength
As our truth looms over me

I picture your face and embrace
And give into that which my heart dreads
You envelope me in your luscious fire
And pour out of me like hot lead

Passion burning so brightly
But its only in my head

Its hard to move
Flying with you
Feels like falling instead

Are you an angel
Or a demon
Neigh
A human
In the end

Am I enough?
Or too broken?
I’d rather be dead

Than spend another moment in love
When my body must pretend

I’m running and jumping
And happy dancing solo
Not allowed to entwine
A partnerless tango

A wish just missed
A scream in the wind
A moment to say aloud
You’re the one that I’m with

A melody to be sung
In sweet harmony
Worth perfecting
Every ‘i’
And every ‘t’
