What if I somehow fell for you?
If I woke my senses and
Fell for you?
Though I really don't see what I could do,
What if I somehow fell for you?

What if I laughed at your stupid jokes?
Pretended I cared and
Laughed at your jokes?
Napped through your blabbing and then awoke
Fast enough to laugh at your joke?

What if I just stayed with you?
Just bit the bullet and
Stayed with you?
Instead of waiting to come unglued
What if I just stayed with you?

What if emotions had a dial?
An on/off switch or
A plastic dial?
If hormones fit neatly into files
What if emotions had a dial?

What if there's no pot lids left?
If they've all been taken and
There are none left?
If all the lids were victim to a theft
What if there's no pot lids left?

What if I just sold myself?
Became a whore
And sold myself?
Just put my body on shelf
What if I just sold myself?

What if I put this wish on hold?
Put all my hopes and dreams
On hold?
Let them sit and gather mold
What if I put this wish on hold?

What if I let it come to me?
Just closed my eyes
And let it come to me?
If I waited for water in the sweltering heat
What if I just let it come to me?

What if I wait til it's too late?
My youth gone and it's
Much too late?
When I had almost all on a silver plate
But waited til it became too late?

What if I'm crazy and you're all sane?
I've lost my mind but
You're all sane?
What if I alone designed this pain
What if I'm crazy and you're all sane?

What if this poem makes no sense?
The words are slurred and it
Makes no sense?
If the rhymes don't really help me get over this fence,
Then logically
I guess
it makes no sense.

Life reached into my dreams
   and pulled out the little pieces

stitched them together with
    kindness

glued it all with
   sincerity


Life reached into my heart
  and saw something like your face
   breathed life into a lump of clay
closed its eyes and
  opened yours.



and life did its finest work
  because your arms fit around me
               perfectly

and your eyes
   melt me to the core

and your lips
   leave me begging
      for more.



Yes.


Life reached into my dreams,
   my love

and it made
you.
