Gravitational

I want you.

I probably shouldn't.

But I want you.

Now I could say

That it's for your charm,

Your winning personality.

Only I don't really know you

But I know I want your body.

You draw me in;

I can't resist it.

You've got a pull,

And it's magnetic.

Perhaps it's got something to do

With pheromones,

Or maybe it's just that time of the month

And I'm on overload

Bursting at the seams

With a surplus of hormones.

Whatever it is,

I don't need to explain it.

I'm done overthinking

And I say f*** it!

I know that I want you.

And I'm going for it.

Latent Emotion

Emotions and feelings are an awful to-do

Perhaps that's the reason

I don't let them show through.

See, these things become messy, and sticky

And so

I look for other ways for me to let you know

How important you are to me in my life

But my subtle overtures have become a cause of strife.

For somehow,

I've failed in my duty to you

To make you aware of how much I do

Care about you, about this, about us

Despite the fact I seem to never make a fuss.

So if circumstances lead you to think,

That when it comes to you

I couldn't give a blink,

Just step back for a minute;

Look past all my fronting- which is purely absurd

Then you'll find that I do care

Far beyond gesture and word.
