Upside Down
I was living in the upside down,
then you came into my world and you turned it around.
Snap - just like that - everything is clearer.
Now I can see me when I’m looking in the mirror.
Stop. Sometimes I see things I don’t like.
Stop. Sometimes these things cause fights.
Stop. Please don’t turn out the lights -
sans resolution can’t be a good night.
Light - is what you bring to me.
Right - here is where I want you to be.
Trite - is what my repeated words might seem.
Tight - is how I’ll hold onto you and this dream.
I don’t want to let go, I don’t want to drop it.
I know that I echo; I just want to stop this.
I just want to prop it -
right back where it stood.
I want to be understood.
If I could scream it I would - not.
Because that’s not what it’s about.
It’s about caring - and tearing - all the walls down.
About bodies held close and finding profound.
Let’s stop with this poem and sync our lips now.
