| You Tell Me |
| And Yet Some MORE Poems |
| Ok, so we like poetry... SHADDUP! |
| What does it feel like to be in love? Does it soothe - Like a soft mist dusting your neck, Cooling your shoulders, Relaxing your tensions? Does it seize - Like an unrelenting grasp over your being, Your smiles and your tears, Your common sense and your emotions? Does it excite - Starting at your toes and rising to your chest, Then your throat where it holds its breath, Until it can't help but scream? Does it confuse - Am I supposed to feel this way? Does he feel this way? Why does he lead me on? What is it in those eyes that makes me so flustered? YOU TELL ME Does every smile, every glance, every chance meeting Feel like a promise to love you back? Not because that's what you really think, But because it's what you need to think To keep the hope of a fairy-tale romance from fading? Does every conversation Linger on for days? Every frame Clear but unreal In every daydreamy rerun? YOU TELL ME Does he consume your mind Day to long-awaited day Until everything has lost its original luster When he isn't around To charm the scene? Does every playful poke Make you float above cloud nine Like you're rising but staying still? Does every friendly hug Force the corners of your mouth up into a stupid grin? Why do my knees become uselessly weak With every meaninless touch- Or even when he walks within twenty feet Of my 'personal space'? YOU TELL ME Does it always feel like more than a crush Or a silly infatuation When he talks to you Just like you would imagine a soul mate would And laughs at your jokes? "If it feels like love, isn't it love?" YOU TELL ME |
| Could I |
| If I was caught up in the "Heat of the moment" with you Could I trust you? Trust you to understand If I didn't want to go all the way Trust you to stop If I had a secret Could I trust you with it? Trust you to keep it to yourself Even if we were mad at each other Trust you to still be there for me No matter how shocking the secret was If we were in a relationship Could I really trust you? Trust you to be faithful No matter how many temptations you had Trust you to be truthful Even if the truth was That you really didn't love me. |
