Some days you put me out of your mind
in some corner that you go back to
when your heart is singing our favorite song.
Its not that I want to be your infatuation
understand?
I'm just not used to sitting in the backseat
of your life,
and I'm still trying to break in the cold vinyl
that seems to stick to me
each time some old moment comes to conquer my senses.
I don't love you anymore.
Have I said that yet?
So why do I still blush when you're around?
In this time away
have I become so much of someone else?
I don't love you anymore
but your shoulder was always comfortable
and your lips still love mine.
but this blush that comes when you're around
made its grand re-entrance too late.


~~I Love You~~

Temptress, there is always hope.
You wrote of this feeling very well.
Though it was sad, I enjoyed reading it.

Are we looking at ashes or embers?  Can 'feel' it in this poem - the heat rising!

Too late, indeed.  Usually too late.

Thank you.

Oooooooooo, this was more than good!

Sad though...in this place where you're sitting while blushing and trying to deny
the feelings,  when you'd give anything
to be sitting shot gun.

I felt this one, you wrote it well. I loved this part..
"and I'm still trying to break in the cold vinyl
that seems to stick to me
each time some old moment comes to conquer my senses."
thats powerful,
and I hope things get less painful.

Always, Alyssa
