Peanut Butter and HozierA Poem by Katie KistlerL
Sometimes I think of you in the pouring rain
Sometimes I think of you all the same Sometimes the sun shines too bright Sometimes I stay through the night Hand over hand And mind over mind Drowning in secrets And living in lies Sometimes I find your soul falling from skies Sometimes I find you all the same Sometimes I think of a bruise on your arm And these hands that push purple and blue Lust over love Darling you blush Hand over heart Legs over mine Don't try the gates of time Molded wood and green grass Buzzing in my ears like past preachers Trying to get through Sweeter than honey and stupid and true Darling I'm never there for you These trees will be the death of me My voice will be your vice These interwoven hands of mine Will hold you through the noise Your touch will be too bittersweet Your voice will be too hard My hands will trace your shiny scars And kiss them in the dark Sometimes you think of me on a summer day Sometimes you think of me all the same Sometimes the moon isn't white Sometimes you wake in the night Palm pressed to palm Mouth pressed to mouth Tasting the daydreams And thinking too loud Sometimes you find my heart clutched in your hands Sometimes you find it all the same Sometimes you think of the poems you've read And how none of them rhymed the right way Time over trust Darling I blush Arm over shoulders And fingertips trace Don't make this journey a race Molded wood and green grass Buzzing in my ears like past preachers Trying to get through Sweeter than honey and stupid and true Darling I'm never there for you These trees will be the death of me My voice will be your vice These interwoven hands of mine Will hold you through the noise Your touch will be too bittersweet Your voice will be too hard My hands will trace your shiny scars And kiss them in the dark © 2017 Katie Kistler |
