JKS
she's in love with you and you play along.
{forget to speak; play your song}
it's how you always wanted it
when she was gone and you were left.
now here she is, back by your side,
but so is this foreign ache.
{the one you've tried to hide}
another one took her place--
another heart, a different face--
you clamor for the thoughts to fade
revert right back to former days,
when she was all you'd want.
--but lies stain and eyes tell the story.
your eyes don't look at her as they once did.
{they're distant. contemplating that new face--
that lovely heart.}
she's been replaced by someone
you didn't have to wait for.

...just kiss me
jessica k. shannon
it's a breath away
only a step away
your heart beat's been giving it away.
that kiss.
{the one our whispers
and glances
and teasing
hint at.}
we long for that knowing silence;
the stare and the flutter.
don't hesitate--
i want this too.
my eyes are begging you--
just kiss me.
