Amy

Amy, you talk in pictures

And I have trouble

When I can't use words

Can't read that Mona Lisa mouth

I wish you couldn't read me well when

My dark notes are showing in my blues

The way I hold my back

Your hazel iris codes I never cracked

If I were bolder

If I could love me better

I wouldn't feel the need

To hold your hand

Called you from quarantine

I shouldn't have revealed

When you can't see me

You might lose me once again

I wish my words would fly away

Like birds in winter down south

And come back home when I'm ready to say

I love you even when you hide away

The sentiment is polar

And so is the weather

A drive through starry snow

Outback romance

Sunday you liked my picture

And I'm too scared of

You to text words and

Honestly emojis freak me out

Maybe one day you'll see me

I hope it's not so sad and gloomy

With LED lights drifting from our phones

That fade until it's dark and we're alone

(Under the dark when I get home)

I wish I could have said

The colors swimming through my head

Instead of gluing my eyes to my shoes

Okay I know we need it

But we can't even see it

We live inside when there's no other way

(I think that)

Maybe it's the season

Rhyming for no reason

Same but sometimes more like night and day

(You make me)

Daydream that I need you

Nightdreams shaded in blue

One day when I'm ready I will say to myself

What I can't today
