Grapevines in black and white
I drew them there with no plight
There they sparkle on your delicate neck
And there I swim near the porch and the deck
What u didn't notice is I've been planning this in my head
It's avoidable and unlikely, but it's what I think of in bed
U say u want to be what someone thinks of when they can't sleep
All I see is u and I can't help but think
One day.
Somewhere, somehow.
U might find it in your heart that u love me.
We lay in silence watching TV
U say it's your favorite, the title, the tea
The grapes I painted turn vibrant pink
And u look down at me
U smile
"I wonder if you think about when I am u"
I wanted to say, "I do, I do."
But the lips that once kissed u
Are gone from my head like the smile after u got the news
I can't speak
So I didn't
U say
"I wonder if u love me like i love u"
So I scream
"I do, I do."
I have a mouth this time
But no tongue
I'm missing the very same one that's been so foolish with u
So I cry
U say
"What's wrong"
Faded to black
It's done, it's done
Bad, bad dreams have never won
And I certainly won't be the only one
