Mix Tape (Alina VII)A Poem by Katie Kistler
I forgot that I made you a mix tape
I forgot that I wrote "je t'aime" I don't think that I realized it could have been love Until I wrote you all those songs And I remember how you said you liked it I remember your arms on my waist I remember things I only want to forget Because they never had a place Was there something there I didn't see Like the way I'd catch you watching me Beneath the lenses on your glasses Baby, please I remember singing Baby please, just talk to me It's such a simple thing But you're a mystery And I've kissed you But it wasn't for myself And it wasn't for you I forgot that you drove me crazy I forgot that you strung me along But I've never been one to hold on to the fire Cause it never seems to burn too long But I remember how you played it too cool Like it wasn't even your fault I remember that you made me feel things And I loved it but it felt so wrong Was there always something stopping you From telling me that you wanted to On your bittersweet velvet lips, so smooth Oh baby, please I remember singing Baby please, just talk to me It's such a simple thing But you're a mystery And I've kissed you But it wasn't for myself And it wasn't for you © 2017 Katie Kistler |
