Wrote this a while ago. It's a bit cliche, to be honest, but I like it anyway. |
A marriage of necessity, not essentially of convenience A situation not easily explained over tea I close heavy gritty eyelids and I see you Laugh lines etched onto that handsomely expressive face Tanned by the warmth of the happiness you exclude Man, you are certainly a sun, one people unconsciously flock * In the silence disturbed by my breathing, I hear your voice A rich warm honey flavoured that lovely romantic accent I do my best to remain unaffected, We say hi, hello and how do you do Ciao, bye-bye, I’ll be seeing you! Politeness on autopilot * I cannot tell of what you feel We were not supposed to have any of that Well, at least, that wasn’t a part of the deal I say nothing but still feel the echo of disbelief When I found out – We couldn’t stand each others’ presence I despised you for reasons I now find trivial Discovered what my heart was trying say Beating in erratic Morse Code when you are here * I find it a brick to deal with, inconvenient if you will, In a marriage of necessity, how can I admit Without the hindrance of pride That indeed I’m falling for you And without the fear that I may hit rock bottom Of a love that may not be there |
