Now

Now

A Poem by Authoress
"

A little thing I whipped up out of listening to too many sad indie songs.

"
It's never an option to
Breathe hard
When you're sharing a breath between
Two hearts
And I'm whole on my own but
I'm pasted by parts,
So hold the cold
And sigh.

This is a love song,
Don't get me wrong.
It's not about angels, it's not about clouds,
It's not about rainbows; all it's about
Is being darker
When we're closer,
We're closer now.

It shouldn't be so expensive to
Kiss you
The cost of a long night will
Fall through
We'll be broke and in parking lots
In the morning, at two
o' clock, and drop
The lights.

This is a love song,
Don't get me wrong.
It's not about angels, it's not about clouds,
It's not about rainbows; all it's about
Is being further 
When we're closer,
We're closer now.

I've got copper under mint
In the swells on my tongue
And one really good way to break dry;
I'm like patches on plastic
And you're thread that's been wrung
And nobody's ever really known why.

This is a love song,
Don't get me wrong.
It's not about angels, it's not about clouds,
It's not about rainbows; all it's about
Is being fighters 
When we're closer,
We're closer now.

We'll be broke and in parking lots
In the morning, at two
o' clock, and drop
The lights.

(We'll be broke and in parking lots
In the morning, at two
o' clock, and drop
The lights.)
This is a love song,
Don't get me wrong.
It's not about angels, it's not about clouds,
It's not about rainbows; all it's about
Is being lighter
When we're closer,
We're closer now.

We're closer now.

And we're pictures alone
And puzzles apart, so
Don't harm the warm
To lie.

This is a love song;
We're closer now.

Come closer now.
