Just Friends

You are the thought I fall asleep to

You are the breath I breathe into

You are the warmth on this day of all days

You are the arms in which I sleep and laze

 

You are the smirk in the single worst hour

You are the comfort, you are the power

You are the best that could have happened

You know perfection, to lips I am trapped

 

You are the temperate touch on cold skin

You are the oceanic tide washing in

You are the dark one, the snide and the sly

You are the sleeper, and I sleep all night

 

You are the latest, a taste of a trend

You are the same thing again and again

You are the next one, with heartbeats you send

You are my divine, and we are Just Friends

Man

I’m a lonely creature

With pleasant features

Long hair

Long dress

 

Femininity infinity

To some demure extreme

Dainty and dolly

Friendful I seem

 

I’d kill to be alone

But lonely, it kills me

Killing, it thrills me

Then I wake up sober and regret

What have I done?

 

I’m sickened by love songs

Yet they’re my lifeline

They keep me breathing and kicking and screaming

He is

 

He is so uncaring

So cold

So bad

So low

 

But to me he is perfection

His warmth keeps me alive

It kept me alive and alove

Now I am asleep to survive

To lie and not to die

 

There have been all too many gentlemen

One particular is more perfect

More for me

Kinder, better, stronger

Yet it is not him

He is not him

No one is him

 

I am not me without him
