Been a long time since I've used this thing. I'm probably doing it wrong. Anyway it seems like a poem has escaped from my brain, so I'll just trap it here in this blog 😀
games
maybe I can make this all a game
train my brain to forget your name
try in vain to make my calm remain
turn my thoughts off, but they turn on again
sometimes my thoughts stay ruler-straight
then something leads my thoughts astray
to ponder things like straying hands
and bodies close from night till day
I try to force my mind to hush
to believe it's plain ridiculous
that I should get the greatest rush
when reminiscing on your touch
I try to keep it to myself
not let these urges show
pretend it's not so obvious
imagine you don't know
attempt to keep my game-face on
not let you see my cards
avert my gaze so you don't see
you've got me seeing stars
