My Boots Are Heavier

by JaneDoeWrites   Aug 1, 2013


It's one of those days when
I'm dangling off Earth by a thread
Twisting my ankles in hopes
To get a few steps ahead
And I come home...

Give me a couple seconds
To sink my head in your chest
Allow me time to swallow my pride
And let it digest

My minds been circling itself for days
Maybe that's something I've been neglectful of
But I could feel you in me for a moment, there
A closeness I could come to love

I can't admit that I need you
Laughing at myself, avoiding going to extremes
Knowing,
My arms aren't long enough to show you
How much you mean to me

So I'll turn and face towards the wall,
Heated by an anxious sweat
Conciously begging you to chase after me with
The mist of three words on my neck

You say Goodnight
And I'm instantly buried
Disappointed, whispering "You Too"
Listening to the midnight moon chuckle
As I break like bamboo

No, I can't admit that I need you
Laughing at myself, avoiding going to extremes
Knowing,
My arms aren't long enough to show you
How much you mean to me.
