A Reason I Gave Up Hangovers
To purchase a kiss:
Lean in to smell my hair.
Say that it's soft as spun starlight
And that my eyes
Are anything but the colour
Of dirty dishwater.
Comment on the weather.
Touch the clouds above my eyes
And ask if there's been rain
Lately.
Call me petite
(not short)
And tell me that you'd like to carry me around
In the top pocket of your favourite shirt
While I sleep.
Describe me as strong;
Passionate and intense
And let your right hand find refuge
In the small of my back
(no lower).
Crack jokes
Until I crack a smile
And tell me about the quiet evenings
You spend alone with your guitar
And how you split your head open
I thought I would write my dreams
Share them with the world
Explain the truth and tell no lies
Of who I truly am
But you gripped my hand
Looked into my eyes
Told those lies
And so I put my pen down
Still it lays there in the dirt
Covered in soot and dust
Aching and waiting to be used
To write my dreams and show my heart
But fear is there as well
Taunting and waiting
To break my heart
With your simple lies
One day when I am strong
I'll scoop it up and hold it tight
Then break the curse you hold on me
With kind eyes and simple lies
