Empty

see i'll try to love you
even my eyes love you
but see i'm dirty
stained from drinks we spilled
i said i wished i was a bird
you said you wished you were me
i wondered why anyone would want to be
you lie face up between my crumpled sheets
i try to balance your life
mine
my mind
you say i worry too much
i wish i could be like you
so light
so easy in bed
so much i want of you to be mine
even when i kiss you i beg for more of you'cause you feed me your heart in little doses
the fibers of my heart tangled belong to you
as conficted as they are
i toss myself on top of you
i wonder why you love me
life is so simple
why do we make it so hard
i waiste time for three hours to dry and peel the layers of my pain
when i'm with you i forget time
you laugh at me
but not like i remember grammar school
like a child laughing at a stupid joke
but your so anything i'd want to be
i wonder what i have in me i could give to you
maybe my palms are empty
