Red Velvet - Be Natural

...the smile on my face,

the look I give you

when you enter the room,

the things I say,

the nervous shift

I make

because of you

you're the spider 

and I'm the fool 

flecked in pyrite

ready to get caught...

Liz Phair - Why Can't I

....it would be nice to hear your voice...

late summer, August birth...a full moon on.

I gleam in waking next to you.

feeling so sure and other times even more so

holding my breath

for years 

on-end...

-Note to Self-

...I'm not sure

if fate or destiny is real.

But I can tell you that sometimes

the very thing you've been hoping for

will walk through the door,

determined to fend you off.

And still,

somehow,

you will find that you are enough...

Ciara - Dance Like We're Making Love

...it was quick

tepid and wet

this four day affair.

You said it would be easy

falling in love with me

if you stayed.

And you're right..

I'd fall in love with me too.

Making light of my laugh

and elf ears

I was glad to be yours

if only for 96 hours.

The time never mattered

and I don't think it ever will

ghosting past

our transient skin

involved

in a dim suite...



Marina and the Diamonds - Blue

 

...azure, aqua, cerulean, sky

indigo, cobalt, baby, midnight

turquoise, teal, Cambridge and denim

maya, powder, royal, so cyan

 

another try

you float my mind

you know my color

I want no other...

 

azure, aqua, cerulean, sky

indigo, cobalt, baby, midnight

turquoise, teal, Cambridge and denim

maya, powder, royal, so cyan...

 



Tove Lo - Timebomb

..."Tell me something good about your life", I whispered, 

needing to hear that he wasn't as broken 

as I thought him to be.

He breathed into the handset for about two minutes.

I began wondering if he was about to hang up,

or had fallen asleep,

but then he answered.

"You"

It was so quiet I almost didn't hear it.

And then he hung up before I could ask him

to repeat himself.

I fell asleep, grinning, the phone still clutched in my hand,

and my milk souring on the coffee table...

-Note to Self-

...it's a good day to travel

I'm lucky i am

excited and nervous 

all at once...

-Note To Self-

I dreamt about you again.

I dream about you often...

along with my first girlfriend...

It's odd I know.

In this instance,

we were talking on the phone

and it felt so good to hear your voice.

You were smiling

as was I

And a feeling overcame me

feeling so sure, so confident

so happy

about us.

It's odd

because something is happening

this very moment

and things will change,

but it seems

that in the front of my mind

I still want you with me...

Jennifer Hudson - I Still Love You

...at midnight

I swam under a full moon.

floating, staring up

at her beauty I saw

a shooting star

hot pink flash

across the sky.

It happened so quick 

It took a while to process

and I went under 

knowing

what to wish for...

Neon Trees - Songs I Can't Listen To

...when I hear those oldies 

they all remind me of you,

smiling in a reminisce 

I feel it's a good thing...

Josef Savalt - Till I Found You

 

 

...hands off

head up

heart on

  

all I can think of 

is how perfect it is 

and how close I am

to feeling it...

 



BoA - Kiss My Lips

..."One can never help being born into perfection," I whispered.

He came close, wrapping an arm around my waist

so that we faced each other. His nose tickled mine.

He ran his fingers across my cheek so gently

it seemed he was afraid I would break.

"No, I don't supposed you can," he breathed.

With his hand holding my face toward his,

he lowered his lips to mine

and gave me the faintest whisper

of a kiss.

 

Something about the tentativeness of it

made me feel beautiful.

Without a word, I could understand

how excited he was to have this moment,

but then afraid at the same time.

And deeper than any of that,

I sensed that he adored me...

Sevyn Streeter - How Bad Do You Want It

...by now

my tears have turned to sand

Sifting through this passage

My footprints have found me

I've grown used to the heat

Thirsting a sip

I continue on

Storming these dunes

In search of cacti and lotuses... 

Kara - Mama Mia

...he loves me

(in thought)

he loves me not

(in present)

he loves me

(so much)

he loves me

(in heaven)

he loves me

(forever)

he loves me

(forever)
(and ever)
(and ever)

Adam Lambert - Ghost Town

...my intent is stronger than ever

my mind slowly catching up with it

these apparitions follow

catting my brain

as I nip and nip 

for breath ...

Brandon Flowers - Lonely Town

...I always thought

it'd be sweet and easy

watching this lightshow...

but my eyes squint

unsure of how much color

I can truly handle...

Kylie Minogue - The One

...circling and we're getting close

can you imagine, just suppose

It's a feeling that I need to know

close to touch like Michelangelo... 

...you're the one...

Bebe Rexha- I'm Gonna Show You Crazy

...when I was 10
we all sat at the dinner table
eating, speaking of our day
upcoming piano recital, tennis tournament,
karate lesson...an upcoming championship

my mother
never said much
she ate quietly 
and would always 
stare up at the chandelier
caught dreaming 
of another life...

Natalie Imbruglia - Instant Crush

...I always saw the glass half full

but maybe 

I'd save myself

from expectation

if it were always

half empty...

- Note To Self -

...take a lover

who looks at you

like maybe you 

are magic...

- Frida Kahlo

Tahiti - Love Sick

...what are you thinking right now?

what are you doing?

where are you?

are you alright?

It's 12:12 am right now

I want you to make a wish 

for good luck:)

I did.

The white cat I got in Thailand

sits on the dresser

staring at me

I hate when he does that

because I never know what to tell him

...and sipping tea after midnight

is never fun...

Julien Dore - Kiss Me Forever

...I fell asleep some time ago

locked away in the attic 

of a tower

every day stenciled 

to perfection

even my smile---

one and two and three

release

a spontaneous arrangement

threw me off course

and now I'm addicted

to that cracked mouth

of infinity

but I don't think

it's really about youyouyou...

It's more of the rush

the high

the taste

during that fairytale sequence,

repeated

moments after...
