Green Eyes
anyone who tries to deny you must be out of their minds

i _ _ _ _ you cause you're beautiful
mainly cause i'm jealous

and because you're drifting while i'm looking for stability
i want you to be something you are not

grow up already
i've been beating this dead horse too long

upon looking into your green eyes

Scarlett, be kind to Captain Butler. He loves you so.

would you please

to share secrets
the little big things of my heart

who?

curled up on my side
with wet cheeks

you?

breath calmed
with each stroke of hair

love?



This is what I wait for.

poor circulation

want arms that can hold me
all of me

cold is setting in
I am too thin skinned to stay warm alone

body heat
hair
contact

I ask this of you

little bird

i know i said it

and i meant it when i said it--i still do

it's just hard to watch.

***

spread those wings
take flight
please do it out of sight

***
