Lilac Bushes

I fall into the lilac bushes tongue out and screaming

But the smell is sick when I cut and bring them home

Are you ever underwhelmed by your emotional capacity?

And I know I shouldn’t think about it more than you do

You owe me lunch, you owe me a hug

You owe it to me to come find me when the lightning bugs are swarming in the yard

And I told too many people and then they went out and told other people

My only fear is that you see me as you want cause it’s convenient
