Loser Rider

I'm a loser rider
a cool loose spider
crawling up to you
see me coming through
break the glass heart in case of emergency
tear it apart and put it back together for me
will you promise it to me?

I'm an idiot wind
blowing doors open
relentless and raining
too damn busy renaming
the stars that circle like feathers of angels
trace a spiral in dark skies of jetliner trails
will you follow them for me?

Loser rider on the highway tonight
tuned to the radio signal, out of sight
after all this time
I still want to unwind myself
inside your mind

Cool swindler man
slip on hot sand
calling out to you
see me busting through
sprung a leak, but I'm listing towards you
take a peak on all that I've thought of you
tell me, will you think of me?

Loser rider tripping through wires
pull the plug and douse this wildfire
after all this mess
I still want to impress myself
to your loveliness

And I rev up the engine of desire
and I paint-by-number
color your grace
and I hit the ground
numbed by wonder
sparked by this fire
looking for your lovely face
looking for your lovely face

Loser rider on the highway at night
tuned guitar to satellites and stoplights
after all this pain
I still want to rain myself
on your windowpane

Loser rider, ruler of misspent youth
red and rusted, you know it's the truth
after all this is writ
I still want to hit myself
for my love to fit
neatly inside you

Looking for your lovely face
dusted off your painted grace
looking for your lovely face
Loser rider wanna win the race
you set the pace

I do love a good love poem. Plus this has a hint of action to it.
