I open my eyes
And all the mistakes I've made
Fly past my face and shit on my head
Like the birds at a cookout
You deserve the world
& I can't even give you an ounce of it
I love you
Words that ring in my ears
Like bells on a door of a front entrance
You call
And I watch it ring
You're different
Nothing like I've ever encountered
A smile slides across my face
As I answer it
You cheese from ear to ear
N first thing first Is i love you
We talk for a bit
Then complete silence fills the air
I watch you move about
Body damn near naked
Only your underwear
Covers your treasure
All I wish... is to be laid up with you
To smell you scent
Music playing in the background
Your voice a melody my heart jumps too
I hear your past
Is just a story
& once you realize this
It has no power over you
But I close my eyes
As if to awake to my past
Casting shadows over my present
