Thinking too many thoughts,
too many seconds have consisted of you.
And I know something will break inside my chest if you say those empty words.
I sense them rolling in over my head.

I've tried to strip away the icing and the sugar.
And you still taste so good.
I'm afraid I can't find anything better then your blueberry lips.
Must I keep looking so callased and obvious?
With my mask so poorly crafted.
Must I divert my eyes from this oasis?

Calmity is soon to crush into my ribs.

Have I mothered these daises, only for them to be thistles?
Scraping along my ankles
only for your hands to poke and pressure my pink heart?

This was different and I liked it. I especially liked the last 3 lines. Very nice. Well done.
