Lipstick stained cups
Loose curls
Award winning smile
Teeth the color of pearls
Raised eyebrows
Tongue in cheek banter
Deafening principles only you could sell out
The likes of a cantor
The red sweater you gave me turned gray
Maple tree leaves falling, mourning an infinite may
Memories made from the passenger seat
Roaring how I felt, forgetting you prefer the discrete
Indecipherable passions, eros or philia
Sound minded observation or hopeful mania
I could never fully discern, reasoning was never my strong suit
What we once had, that’s all I want, I’m calling for a forceful restitute
You waltzing into my life only to drop me during the dip
Contrasting the calluses on my palms
I refused to loosen my grip
If I know this to be true, why am I checking the door in case you walk in
But a tip in case you do, uncertainty makes a terrible underpin
I abhor our usual charade, if I wanted to play a guessing game I’d fall in love with a mime
For the love of god, be creative when you break my heart this time
