Katrina Maria Jun 2010
Wasted by eleven and pouring your heart out,
I knew you shared my point of view
Always, you say you'll rise to the occasion
And that you'd do anything to see this through

You'll talk with anyone who tries
A butterfly from the beginning of the show
Since there was always a glance left for me
That seizing hole in my chest sighed and let go

Even now, I remember that ambiguous scar
Where only brief loss and lust often came
Soon, wonder, awe, then need filled the void
And instead of a heartbeat, I whisper your name.

Open wide is the door to your mind
And tap, tap, tap, I let myself in, savvy to the
Sounds and sights that sooth my senses
Smiling, laughing, shining, you encourage me

Watch me sway while I watch you play
For all to hear, they'll scream and shout
Your comfortable grin starts to burn my eyes
I would not look away even if I wanted out.

I'll always want to be the best I can be and
Reaching into the deep pools of your energy
I clap along and decide, once and forever that
Keeping time with you will be easy.

MINE! NOT YOURS!
