Doing The Paperwork

‘I'll make you a bracelet to handcuff our friendship, I won't give up 'til you're upset’- Sir Babygirl

Your skin is like rose petals
When it started I fell for hours
Watch the paperwork
Float away in the river
It’s always her
The smell of favorite food
The air of the RV
The mountain skies are dark and cloudy

The longer I was dead for
The more I had in store
What a wonderful day to enjoy chocolate with you
You colonized my heart
Sent the blue
Running fast through canyons and hills
I’m tired but one day it’ll all spill

I saw through white lies
And neon lines
Stopped waiting for someone to give me a sign

Then I got one
And it’s been so fun

I can’t believe I hid this all this time
The one that made me lose my mind
By the end of the year
I’ll have wiped away those bags under your eyes

I think the blues will fade when you've found what you're looking for....throw out all the paperwork; as you said" you've colonized my heart" ...how beautiful is that.. sometimes when you're not expecting something ,it falls in your lap....happily!!! Well done!Best, Betty

Sounds like a possible soulmate. Also sounds like a ghost hiding just out of sight. Hope it passes into the afterlife soon. Baggage can be so messy. I think as a song this would be called singing the blues. Well written.

An interesting take on a relationship. I especially liked the lines, ("I saw through white lies --- And neon lines --- Stopped waiting for someone to give me a sign"). Although signs are hard to come by when you're looking in the wrong direction, as I often did. LOL

"you colonized my heart/ sent the blue/running fast through canyons and hills..."
but yes, the ink will spill, the paperwork, the poetry, indelible markings of a friendship...
love with the pen.
