Living In The Mind's Cage

57.

It's funny how a single rose

Could light up someones day

It's funny how one person

Knows exactly what to say

I find it so amusing, because I never thought things like this

Could happen to someone like me, before and after one little kiss

Red rosy cheeks,

And a smile from ear the ear

Stumbling over words

From overwhelming fear

I find it odd, how something simple as this

Could get me all jumbled up, because of one little kiss

Inhale, exhale, the comfortable silence as we lay

We let sleep take us in its arms

As the day ticks away

Late night walks and talks

That are awkward and relaxed

Tears flow from honesty

That seems to not reflect

With comforting words, no comforting hugs

I am filled with regret

It's funny how the little things, can bring so much joy

And bring so much sorrow, that I could give to one boy

I am conflicted, with a tightening, thorny vine

That I still can't call you mine

After all, it's too good to be true,

This must be a nursery rhyme

Complicating things that never needed to be this way

It seems so selfish of me, to ask you to stay

But as you look at me with the bluest stare I could meet

I can not do it, so I look at my feet

With one little touch, of a gentle hand, I find it hard to let go

But as your lips meet mine, it was then I knew,

Cupid hit me with its bow

All the words and all the laughs, went before my eyes

I felt something deep down, I've come to realize

I can't let you go,

No matter how hard I try

Cause as much as I'd like to back down, I ask myself,

Why?

Is this my second chance?

Can I be redeemed?

Or was this simply one of the many tricks to be seen?

I find it funny how paranoid I get,

When happiness stares me in the eyes, but I deny I've seen him yet

A/N: Hello readers, it's been months....wow I am so sorry. Although apologies mean nothing until my actions show not to do this again but, no promises. Sadly once again I am sick and behind on a lot of schoolwork. On the other hand this poem is completely different, hmm I wonder why?😋 Anyway I still don't know how my updating schedule will be because this week is going to be really hectic and busy. Then I'll be having people visit. Well I hope you like it, vote comment what you think. Love to hear  feedback or guesses in why the mood of the poem has changed, although it's pretty obvious. By the way the picture up top/side is mine. Hopefully within 2 weeks I'll be able to update or within October if I want to be realistic.
Until then.
