This poem dances between mindsets and the glasses through which we all view the world. |
He said "i like your style" She told him her ducks refused To stand in a line Until they were ordered She'd be real bad news He kissed her and She told him he did it all wrong He took her out and She demanded to pay for her half He said he lives for passion She says she just lives to live He says he sees wildfires in her eyes Hidden but burning ardor She explained the flames were of dissatisfaction And a need for change until she found her place He wants her to know who he is And she doesn't mind not being understood She points out his flaws He thinks she's wonderful She tells him she's inconsistent and strange But she still makes him want to be some cool rock star He'll tell her he felt used She'll reply saying she was terrible They travel in dizzying circles Sometimes taking midnight rides to nowhere Simple midnight conversation and company She still calls him with her biggest problems And when she comes to tears Swears she's sick and not crying he tells her it will be rough, but okay She tells him he's her deity He tells her she's a fox He wants her nails on his back And he'll even light candles in the room She's exhausted and just wants sleep He wants to feel her fervor She says it's just frustration His hands are soft, hers are rough and calloused he's persistent, will never quit She's too stubborn and she's displaced He says she's cute and he's, with her, content She says she's a wreck and he's crazy He likes pictures of them together She'd rather be a photographer than a model He thinks her earrings are ridiculous But he'll play with them when he plays with her hait He buys her coffee, looks into her eyes She makes jokes about the couple at the next table He says it's impossible not to adore her She says the world's a mess He tells her life and decisions are tough She says to him "chaos is inevitable" He says it's beautiful She wants to spit off the roof And he wants to dance on it He said he wants to get inside her head She says it's a dangerous place |
