i'm a matador


 

it was the hush of us that woke us up
unless you were speaking & i wasn't listening close enough
having selfish moments too frequent to notice us
like times you were reaching; wanting hugs
& my arms stayed folded up
not knowing signs of love
well kind of, just not my kind of love
breaking hearts time after time till i find the one
selfish uh? probably so
knowing this woe is hitting like a body blow
maybe i just write well, but don't know how to hold
plant the seed, but leave before the flowers grow
in the direction cowards go
years disappear within hours so
our sun, turns to showers
now was ours; now it's, neither mine or yours
minor flaws cocooned, into wounds full bloomed
& sores, harpooned from wars, where roses were once the cure
playful banter, now plays like phantoms
while we're slamming doors
not minding our manners cause
nothing matters anymore
but for some reason, now it seems to matter more
still, when you reach for me, i'm a matador
not mad at all, just disappointed               cause there was once a point when, we had it all
now i'm running like cannonballs
from the one, that i planned to call
more than a wife
more like, more than someone i'd spend the rest of my life with
now, more is, more of less; more of a mess
& all our promises manifest regrets & i don't like it

                                        i'm a matador
