Lost Verses

when the phone line goes dead

and all that's left are your words in my head

it fills me with yearning, and something like dread

afraid that i'm giving my heart away to one i'll never meet

hoping that one day the distance we'll defeat

and hoping that this attraction doesn't make me seem like a creep

giving hearts to the hopeless, letting love take it's time

learning a new rhythm and way to rhyme

hoping that one day life will be sublime

leaving out verses best left unsaid

for my feelings move fast, and so i put things in their stead

making poems ramble rather than flow

because i need to keep things from those who would know

what it is i'm talking about, or who, or what, or when

hoping that the things i do won't cause someone chagrin

the deed is done, the seeds are sown, whatever comes of it

shall come to pass whether or not i will admit.
