(2015)
Love is sincere Sincerely Wanting to connect Love makes you crazy Insanity that makes you fly
My heart breaks A little each day For problems I can’t solve For things I can’t change All I can do is pray
I enjoy his company Riding shotgun Conversation No one to overhear Our inside jokes
I cannot apologize For writing what I feel inside If it is hard to read It is harder to live I will understand
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface
How can I write how I feel When what I feel is nothing? How can I tell you what I need, What is wrong? When what is wrong
I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time
If I could draw a tree In all it’s complexity Would you be impressed? If I could draw a human face It would be but a trace
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
A joke Lost in Translation You will Never
The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
If I could paint a man Eyes so dark they shine Brooding and stormy Til the smile breaks through If I could paint a man
