Jane Q. Porter: I'm listening

Monday, February 8, 2016

I'm listening

You told me I shouldn't trust you
But I did

And maybe red dresses were meant to remain in the department store and not to be admired
But I wore it

There are memories that will never be shared and silences "sorry" could never fill
And I would know.

My tongue is twisted and my eyes are dry
My pen is out if ink and my heart, completely wasted

Country-sides were made for hand holds and tight squeezes
But busses were not made for short lived love and little admittance

P.s. I got my heart back, and it doesn't even recognize your name.

Just trust in my robust distrust for the common gust of willful Wind that can end someone's devotions and thought provoking emotions like how most of you look for love potions.

I honestly don't know what I'm saying

But my hands

and my heart

do.
