“Girl (untitled)”


Girl, your smile is electric
When you wish me a good night’s sleep.
Your lips give silk shocks
When you kiss me and then kill the lights.
Your warmth keeps me comfortable
And your breathing is a song—
I breathe along.
Feeling you next to me
Is a wonderful sensation of bliss.
This bliss is better than a dream,
But still,
I must refuse so I may slumber.

Girl, dreams of mine consist of you,
So when I dream I still feel love.
You float among my cotton clouds…
In my dreams, you’re my emotion.

Phone rings.
Noisy stings.
Wake you up,
Though tell you things!
Wakey, wakey…
At this time of night?
Shaky, shaky,
She is in the light.
"NO DON’T ANSWER!"
But who could it be?

"What the fuck!!!
WHO’S KEVIN???"
