Like a Blister - 2005
I don't fall in loveslow
I fall in love
fast
hard
and quiet.
Like making love
with your parents
in the next room.
My love's
like a blister.
Something
you
want
gone
as soon as you
notice it's there.
So let me go
as soon as I realize
I want to hold you close.
You're like the moon
as I try to hold
your reflection
in a pool
in the night.
Waving and
shimmying in the dark
lapping over and around me.
My feelings are like the sun
I can't hold them
inside me
because they are
turning me to ash
before I even realise.
You say it's complicated
but i think
it's just a word
to hide the fact
that you don't
think
I'm
hot.
