I would like you to talk me through loving you
When; the how, especially.
You guard me from falling too hard or too soon
Then you force me to wait my turn –
when we just made resplendent love in a butterfly cocoon
This is not what I intended when I spoke to you
So now I’m confused.
We’re both intelligible people we shouldn’t have to play hookie with hearts or darts
And I shouldn’t be falling apart at the part where I call you to talk and you sound like it’s my fault
And I don’t know what I’ve done wrong.
I shouldn’t be so sensitive but if I weren’t what would that say about my long days with you?
Would you consider yourself then one of the many or one of the far between and few?
Would that say that everything prior-prearranged made me intransigent because
I never could do dating, never could do involved… never could be anyone’s maybe…
All I ever could be; was in a relationship.
So not to ruin your circus. And maybe I’ve gone so far off
You can call me hypersensitive or don’t call me at all…
You can say I don’t take my time or you can say I’m really trying
But to trust you when I’m blind is hard when you don’t speak your heart when you speak your mind
I could choke the little girl in me or I could put her to bed.
I could make attempts at something different but I thought you’d like the real me instead
I could move on to seeing someone safer but my god I’d be bored to death
I could continue like nothing or I could pretend it was just sex to me
But what will I do with the rest of me… with the restless me… with the me that wants nothing but to spend all my requisites on where this will go next when you were probably just receptive to uncertainty and whatever would help add a notch to your belt. True… but these last few days I’ve felt you less and less… and
It’s something that inspires me to write a poem I guess.
And I know it’s just like. Don’t make it more than it is.
Sex isn’t love that I know not to guess
Like doesn’t mean love and love doesn’t equate passionate sex
And just because we talk every day doesn’t mean you’re obligated to whatever this is.
But when you speak to me it fits.
And when you look at me my nerves do flips.
Let you touch me and my hearts thumping thinking o shit.
So I’m asking if… for the sake of time wasting.
For the sake of heart breaking. Game playing.
Call waitings. And all things of imminence…
I want to love you one day so maybe if you see that as ok…
If you could talk me through this.
If you could talk to me talk to me please
I wish he could talk me through this,
Because I just don’t want to wish for a happy ending if
he may not have it in him.
