Poems from I'm Simply Em
damn
you make me so nervous
that my heart beats just thinking about you
i get flutters in my chest
just from absorbing how smart you are...
maybe it's better this way
maybe my self respect will transition from an oak
relying on your rain
to a cactus
growing toward her sun...
i get swept up by fantasies of the future
they steal my heart
i steal my own heart
the idea of new people and places
falling in love with...
It's not that I don't love you;
I've just been caught in the wind lately.
I love drinking tea to soothe my aching throat
And trying to...
i can take the color of the sky
and imprint it in my mind for later recollection
i have a whole spectrum of its colors
waiting in my mind...
