Don’t Worry, My Love Doesn't Have an Expiration Date

Don’t Worry, My Love Doesn't Have an Expiration Date

I’m a deck of cards when you touch me
Shuffled emotions

Even though you’re nowhere near me
I can feel your sigh of dismay in my ear

I look deep into your eyes
And I have access beyond a typical infatuation

You pick me up and only take me higher
Like a kite, soaring on endless string

You’re a part of everything in my life
When you leave I’m struggling to go on without the necessary

I never have to do those things for you
But you don’t have to care for me like you do
A favor for a favor
I fall for you the more I figure you out

My heart pumps blood to keep my hands warm
So that they blanket yours if our fingers intertwine

When you retreated far from me
I sat with some ice cream and melted to memories we’ve made
I stared into the sunset
Eyes pink, catching the glare of another lonely moment
Recalling your embrace
The feeling of being sandwiched like peanut butter and jelly

Now we hibernate until we meet again
As often as a new season begins

Your spot in my car is fresh
My ears still hear us conversing until the streets would end

We’re our own entity
No label respectively fits us among the cans of soups
But I pour my heart out for you
Without leeching onto your throat to suffocate you

If spontaneity reached its height
I’d run away with you tonight
We could find our place away from all else
Living out feelings I’ve never felt

I live without you daily not by choice
Because I’d drive to you if the opportunity wasn’t void

If I keep this love on layaway
Will you remember to pick it up when you can?
Or am I making this up like a cartoon by hand?
Even if this is so, I just can’t let you go
It’s not water after a bath I can dry off
But perhaps a foolish hope that keeps me on

In an endless tunnel, chased by a train
With the light at the end too far away
From my tangent angle I see it like you may not
But maybe because to love again you forgot

The possibilities of our outcome are endless
Like the stars in the sky
They shine and glow at you as do I
Thinking of ways to make you high

I backed out of my drive way
And the memories collided with my heart
I wiped the tears, driving with wet hands
Blurry vision with no passenger to my right

The canvas looks empty without your contribution
I’m hoping you will one day filter out the confusion

Like the wine in the cupboards
Our something special will age

If ever we never decide to open us up all the way
I could still love you as I have since the first day

God awful.

[Alex Djaferis]

its way too long.

[IAmCountryMusic]

too many metaphors

[xforestxwaitsx]

i liked it. they're stupid, and I like to play nicely unlike some of these idiots. keep writing. you're good and metaphors are never bad. people who say they areusually say that because they don't understand.

[ArTkY_]

Too long, make it shorter.

Some of the metaphors are kinda lame. But I appreciate the defense.

No, bitch. I'm sorry you have short attention span that it has to be 10 lines long like your favorite My Chemical Romance song.

[ArTkY_]

I don't even listen to MCR. I'm saying the length takes away from the poem.

ouch! your welcome for the defense, although I was just stating my mind.

How? Be specific and I won't bash you.

Because, most people have short attention spans... a lot of people are just going to assume it sucks without reading half of it because they get tired of reading... not a lot of people enjoy reading that much.

Then they can go fuck themselves. If you think what I wrote is too long and that's your reason for hating it -- that's just...retarded.

Did I say I hated it? No. I just made a suggestion, you're too close minded that makes you, in fact, the retard.

Wow, aren't you the witty one with your original comebacks.

How am I closed-minded? Because I think not liking my piece only because it's too long is a load of shit? I can take people saying "too many metaphors," or other things like that, but saying "it's too long! wahhh! I don't have enough milk in my bottle to accompany me reading this!!" will make me call you out.

[ArTkY_]

You're stupid, you know? I actually liked your poem but I hate you even more now.

So do something extreme and powerful like take my scene points away -- you'll definitely prove yourself a cooler person that way, ass. I don't want you to like me, you know?

Note: scene points are a joke. I woulda liked you if you weren't such an asshole when you posted lyrics or a poem and got negative comments on it.

Look Jew, you know you fucking like me because you keep coming in here to respond to my shit. If you didn't give a fuck about me you'd have left already. But you haven't.
