You liquor me up with a glass of wine. I should have tasted and spit. Lift my cheek for a kiss and land with a pat on the head.
Aren't you glad I love you?
I'm invisible
Sometimes I pretend that i'm invisible and that is why you don't talk to me. I have an glass plane and a golden lasso. If I wrap you in the lasso, will you truthfully tell me that you don't know if I'm there? If I ride in the plane, will you watch me fly away?
I don't cry
Boys don't cry and neither do I. I saw that movie about love sickness, but instead of tears I choked on the word "love." I'd never seen "love" used that way. Caught in my throat, it kept me gasping for breath, gasping for you.
Crying
Onions make me cry for reasons you will never know.
Being with you should be more than survival
Love me like cream and sugar
You are the cure for my blues. When I start to cry, I just pickup the phone and pretend I am talking to you. I don't hear your voice, but I can remember what it sounds like. Like a broken record, you tell me over and over that you "love me like cream and sugar."
You give me butterflies
You give me butterflies. You give me bumblebees. You give me heart ache. I'd like to put that all in a bucket, drowning the bugs and and diluting the ache. Like a watered down cocktail, I can't send my heart back.
It's not Valentine's Day
It isn't Valentine's Day and my heart dropped to my feet and no one gave me flowers today. I can't wait another 9 months for you to be reminded that you should be nice to the one you love. I don't like chocolate, but that is no reason for you to forget about me. I look through my drawers hoping to find an old ca,rd that you have signed "love from you-know-who." Knowing it isn't you, I pretend it is. I slip it under your pillow to make it smell like you. I text myself, "<3." You would never do that. So I wait, avoiding card shops and florists, candy shops and candles until February 14...
... or I'll pretend It is today.
Prance without you
Without you, I feel a little lighter in the head and in the heel. I put these lifts in my step and now I ache less for you. I skip and jump and prance without you in my heart.
Constructed dreams
You have been diluted with time. Accustom to what is left of you in my mind, i fill my thoughts with constructed dreams of love and lust. Pretending these feelings are mutual, I know you would disagree.
Man, do you look tasty
The blister on my heel reminds me that you're sexier in theory than in practice. Those high heeled shoes make my legs twist and turn in all the right ways. I can't walk, but man do my calves look good. Just like you. I can't breathe, but man do you look tasty.
Lucky penny
I found a heads up penny. My wish has come true -- I can't find you anywhere. I don't look high and low, don't want to jinx myself. Maybe I'll pull apart a wishbone, or pick up a four-leaf clover. With luck like this, who needs you?
Apathy sucks.
People stare when they learn I don't like chocolate. They shrug their shoulders when they hear I like you. They don't care enough to smile or frown, it is always the same story. Apathy sucks and so do you.
Slick with apathy
To take the ring off my finger, you would have to use a bolt cutter. The ring is easier to get rid of than you. More than a little vaseline and little love. Slick with apathy, I'm getting you off my finger.
Belly of the beast
I'm in the belly of the beast.
My cat
My cat understands me more than you do. I can't let him get away either.
Sitcoms
All I want to do take an aspirin and watch television. My favorite characters are my best friends and they know what heartache is like. You're my antagonist, my evil villain. I wait for you to be killed off. Reruns suck.
Flip- flops
You've always made my heart do flip-flops. A love trampoline? Maybe. Crash and burn? Definitely. The cost of this ride is way too high.
I just can't be you
You walk away when you are bored. You sleep to forget. You drink to remember. You dance to tease. You eat when you are hungry. You run when you are scared. I just can't be you.
