please get out of my head

2:53 am

and i'm still thinking about you

everything

how your lips curve into a smile

how your glasses hide the bags under your eyes

how your shirts always have a collar

how your arms held me friday night..

 

4:38 is cheering us on and 9:27 is taking me out of the equation.

 

they say y = mx + b

but once you take out b we'll never find an explained why

and i don't know how to say this

but i'm starting to wonder if x exists

 

i'm telling you now,

i don't know what to do with love!!

do you put it in a corner?

how often do you feed it?

what kind did you get me?

will it bite me just as i begin to trust it?

will it lie next to me, snuggling close when i cry at night?

or maybe

it will run away and never be found-- no matter how many hopeless flyers i hang around the city..

 

 

 

10:57 is keeping me here and i know you found hope in 11:03

but darling the lyrics to our song are past tense and i can't seem to get the lyricist to change that

 

its 3 am and your still wandering the corners of my mind and i want you to keep exploring- but please, stay away from the chambers of my heart.

 

there are ink stains and endless sheets of unfinished music

and overheated rooms

and i don't want you to see your picture tucked inside my favorite book's cover..

 

i know you only mean well

but my thumbs were trained to hide my heart by the naive young girl who peers at you behind my eyes

you've probably seen her while traveling my left brain

she's busy sending troops down to my chest,

blocking all feeling from logic

staring my heart right in the eyes- telling it to get back in line

 

 

but don't worry

its 3:17 and my heart is in complete retaliation

its gathering the troops and sending them straight to my tongue in hopes to free it from the grip of my fears

 

and when it wins

i want you to be there

you'll hear me

when my feelings pour out of my chest into the wings of the butterflies

into the clouds of my mind

when the rain washes away the doubts

you'll hear me

 

please hear me

 

 

its 1:08 am and your running in circles trying to understand my labyrinth

but i'm tiring from empty tear ducts

and i think i'm going to rest awhile.
