Adrift
I think
You are perfect,
And maybe its not the time to say but
I think we could be perfect.
As cliché as that sounds,
The voices in my head have been playing me like
A con artist scrounging the subway streets of New York City,
But from the time you first said
Hello
It would echo though my head
Until my hair turned grey
Because you see I’ve been away
Been lost at sea
For quite some time now.
My heart sent me adrift on a makeshift raft that would
Send splinters down my spine
Every time I moved.
Out of all the ships that have flown by
I think
You
Are the one worth getting paralyzed for
Because you see I’ve been away,
Been lost at sea
With only the sound of the waves
To keep my lonely heart company,
But I have been hearing the horns of
Your ship dance upon my eardrums
Like a blue jay on a sweet summers day
And I think I am going to let you
Take me away.
