All of the ‘Them’s
That are a ‘Him’
All of the ‘They’s
That make me
Misbehave
Are headed
Towards resting
On his chest
In between
My cheek
And he
The sheets
Will sing
And love will be free
To take a sweet
Stab at me
And he
And we
Will see
That sugary
Knife
Inside
Now resides
By our thighs
As to remind
Us of the nights
When we both just lie
Down beside
Each other and sigh
Knowing tonight
There is no ‘but’
Stopping us
No cuts
To wonder
And fuss
Over, just
Us
Under
The sheets
And dreams
We’ll see
When we
Shut
The ruckus
Off and just
Breathe
In peace
And bleeding
Our hearts on the sheets
It’s worth certainly
Remembering
That sometimes things
Aren’t as they seem
Flat tire’s are there
When you aren’t prepared
And you’re just spared
From the death that scares
You right there
Long enough for prayer
And to pull over
But you’ve got no spare
And no one could care
Less as they tear
Past you like they’re
In some hurry
So you sit and stare
For hours like there
Is no air
In your body
Until finally that rare
Moment is there
And you are spared
Any more waiting
Rewarded for patience
We are remembering
Sometimes things
Aren’t as they seem
When luck runs out
Leaving you shouting
And banging the wheel
Of your automobile
And the only thing that you
Can do
Is wait for your cue
Because your tire blew
Never does one
Come so undone
That one loses
Sight of the future
Somewhere
You’re aware
That you won’t be there
Forever.
Flat tires are truth
But thats not exclusive
Love is the truth
Too
And just because knives
Shred tires sometimes
Doesn’t mean I
Can’t see that knives
Are exactly just like
All things in life
Sometimes
A kinfe
Can cut through the lines
So blurry that I
Was made blind
Was held back from my
Other side
My
Lover and me
We sleep beneath sheets
And remember when we
Blew a tire to pieces
And laugh when we
See
The history
Of that story
And bleed
And breathe
And breed
Our ‘He’s
And ‘We’s
Into each
Other and sheets
And sleep
While we seep
Because that's exactly
What we
Agreed
That we
Both need
When finally
The side
Of the road passed us by
And we met with a sigh
By our bedside
And smiled
