it's you

i wait on this corner every night
the bitter cold making me hate every part of you
you make me wait here

i cannot make myself leave this cold
__________________________


i wake to dancing every morning
in my motionless body
dancing with the thought of you
it's you
always you


_________________________

i am never quite sure how you rouse this me in me

many days i wish to suppress you in me
to suppress you in me would be to abolish the me in me

i cannot do that
metahysically or otherwise
so i'll keep you around

__________________________

see how much convincing it took?
for the pain you cause me to be nothing but a side-effect of your beauty?
i see it all clearly in my mind
fortunately none of us rational people take heed to that mind i refer to
fortunately

___________________________

in honesty, however,
i know not you who causes this in me
nor do i ask it of you to cause in me
any of these effects from your cause
but i do ask of you
who causes anything in me
to knock on my door
i'll gladly invite you in.
