you're my favorite


 

why am i realigning our alliance through defiance
designing illusions, & lying
like distance, this is abusive & dismissive to trust
& all your use to’s, are now dipped in disgust
cause of fucks we don’t give or didn’t discuss
which sucks & is just, intrusive
reminded by shit that you’ve said
so now i am trying  
cause you miss, are driving me nuts; completely out of my mind
this crying’s not sexy music… it’s making us too sick
& just sounds like we’re dying
it's sirens, to a lonely heart, that only harps can revive
within your arms, i survive
wherever you are, i’m alive
i’m curtsying at cotillions, when you arrive
cause it hurts seeing the sea fill in your eyes
then spill out your eyes
too filled with pride, to reveal our disguises
we can heal, but can’t hide that we’re full of surprises
in the kitchen, concocting concoctions, anxious
to replace your sad faces, with jaw dropping elation
making air pockets, for everything less than great to escape in
vacate the mistakes we’re making & let’s take a vacation 
over Count Basie, count the breaths we’re taking
while embracing, incasing you in my apron
i'm a fan… you're my favorite
i'm your man… you're my lady
losing you’s crazy
listen, there’s no intermission; this musical’s amazing 
the third act’s parlaying into a standing ovation
abandon frustration, while i’m handing you patience
in a man shaped like, i wear cape when i write
or when you pray & say grace, my face is your light
leading our hearts out the darkness
eluding nonsense, long after sad songs end
communicating our problems, till we're celebrating like mamas 
in the bleachers, screaming louder than speakers 
with pom-poms, prouder & preaching 
that's my baby, & i ain’t afraid to say it mad frequent 
no hesitating, no debating
for you i’ll take a knee, while pledging allegiance 
continuing to satisfy your needs; giving you me to believe in

you're my favorite
