" lurvable"
Mess with this heart,
you always do,
Oblivious to love
that’s true.
Swagger in,
head askew,
Slurring, “I lurv you,
I lurv you.”
Why burden this heart
with sober disdain,
Hardly meeting my gaze,
causing pain.
Tongue-tied,
no touch, no smile,
Leaving me longing
all the while.
Wake up,
see beyond the cans-and-sway,
There’s so much more to us,
every day.
Beneath
your aloof facade,
I see,
The potential for
love-that’s-meant-to-be.
Cast off
the chains of inebriation,
Embrace
the depth of real sensation.
For in the wake of your sober eyes,
A love unspoken,
ready to rise.
