Quicksand

Here's another examples of those song-inspired poems.

As Ryan Leslie once said
you get me stuck in quicksand.

In this situation where I can't get out
where my mind thinks about you
only you, the one I can't get to.

I have to get out of this trap and chase
but my mind is in a daze
cause I am just amazed,

By you, the girl of my dreams
hotter than a bayou
and intricate like dress
down to the seams.

And I can't believe
what I'm seeing,
and my mind is scheming
of ways to get to you,
but I'm scared to move.

My mind is racing,
while my feet are pacing.
I'm stuck at the gates,
with no way of escaping...

The depths of my mind,
for I'm trapped inside
my own illusion,
creating the delusion
that she would even exist,
and if she does
that she would even be for me.

For you see,
I'm just a shy guy.
She'd be too much of mountain to climb,
even if I graduated from Sky High

But like a bull, I run through the gates
hoping that girl will love me back someday...
