I can sight read piano music, but I can’t stop thinking about you
I can play “All of You” by John Legend by ear, but I can’t stop thinking about you
I want to sing a new song, but find myself drawn to 50 Shades of Gray
I’m a recovering masochist for your venomous tongue
Your tongue may be silver, but your hair is definitely gray
Blue eyes, always looking away from the camera to feign inspiration
I can’t go through a single day without wondering how much of you is
An illusion and how much is real
You don’t say a word to me, but I can feel your presence lurk
Couched in my veins
I have come to believe when I cursed you
That your heart came to live in my chest
I can feel its desperate throb, even now
Against my bare skin
You won’t let me touch you, but perhaps
I already am.
