YOU

You see there is a problem I have,
One that I can’t get rid of,
One that I can’t solve

It seeps through my soul,
Clenches through my heart,
Makes my legs shake uncontrollably,
Gets my heart to beat faster than a tigress after her prow,
And the speed of an eagle after its bait

I thought of getting it checked out you know,
Thought about calling in the hotlines about my risk,
Thought about talking to someone about it

But no matter whom I talked to it didn’t get better,
No matter what I described, it didn’t go away

I heard your laugh and it all stopped.

It wasn’t just the sound,
Like smooth caramel that dribbles delicately
Across carefully scooped vanilla ice-cream,
It wasn’t just like a housewife’s orgasm after years
Of depravity

You see there is a problem I have,
One that I can’t get rid of,
One that I can’t solve

It’s You.
