Funny Things #Poem

it just happened one night

she just walked into my life

the details are fuzzy

a combination of alcohol and tiredness

but she was there, on the street

or rather on her lawn

and it was like she was calling my name

but i didn't know it,

not yet anyway

everything about her draws me in,

her pale green eyes that light up when she smiles

her voice, her arms, her every move.

and that smile that knocks out my fears

everything about her gives me comfort

and falling into her web was out of my control

it was inevitable

attraction is a funny thing that way

no matter how wrong it might be

it clouds your mind, it takes over

and the next thing you know

you're caught

but the worst part is you don't even care

you can pretend to struggle,

pretend to be weak

but the truth is you want to be there

limbs tied down, heart pounding

refusing to move

wanting nothing more than to be trapped there

to be unable to break the spell

and you could care less

that's the way it is with her

i get stuck in her essence

and not a single part of me wants to pull away

i'm perfectly content with being devoured

besides, attempting to resist is pointless,

why try and avoid something that great.

something that makes it hard to speak

something that makes you unable to think

and blush whenever it crosses your mind

so, regardless of how wrong it might be

i think i'm just going to soak it in

i'm going to lay with my head on her shoulder

while she runs her fingers through my hand

and i'm going to listen to the sound of her heart.

because i can't imagine life without that sound anymore.

its embedded in my brain, and i refuse to let it go.

and i'm okay with that.

its not something i'm going to regret

and its not something i'm willing to give up.
