[bodytext] => If ~ i had it my way...... you'd be using a soft quill brush dipped carefully in red-violet ink or run smoothly -like blush- along a shiny canvas block, in pink By candlelight, on cold, dark nights we drink from the bottle with the wax stamp seal You got to me by wing or ship across sand and violent seas so your every word feels exquisitively like your hands holding the very heart of me- which stops beating every time you command me to get back in the box... How many boxes have I tried to fit in? from terrorist to peacemaker... the silent witness, the victim... from street chile to savior... the secret keeper... even sex kitten... Always changing the rhyme, but the reason remained the same flowing rhythm- and I hold all the syllables... Equal to a single rose, I hold close to my chest yet you assume I deem to resume a past interest? In the same way that chalk to slate is tested, with out regard for what's been invested, your lack of trust, is suggested. But you know ways of saving face, so word-play becomes my saving grace and I can feel a less painful trace in the message from your endless repitior to top the wettness in my resivior I read the words and know that because they're there you must care, but sometimes I feel so stupid- I am healing yes, but I carry the scars... Can you remember promising me the stars? If so, then maybe this distance between us won't seem so far But if you could, would you change the way we are??
