| every day i spend with you it's like a slice of pie sweet and melty and so many calories and still i always want a second helping you i sate my sweet tooth on letting you into my veins like i've got addiction you, both Eros and Poseidon stirring sudden waves upon my lonely ocean and if i could take all the coal in the world and with my bare hands press it into a dot i'd have a diamond i would give to you every hour i spend with you it's like a bath of light warm and squinty and it burns so good and red is what it makes me see and feel you are the noonday sun sending shafts of bright into my pool of sorrow you, the one making my heart thrum spilling your smile into me so that my cup overflows and if i with my all pressed hard enough we'd have ourselves a diamond in the rough every moment i spend with you they're like red-hot, heavy lumps of coal thrown on the flame you lighted in my chest just when i thought it was pointless for my blood to boil you are bright fire with hair the hue of lions making me hot and blue just like a butane lighter you, the one with sweetness on your tongue telling me things that make my tides rise higher and if i could take all the lumps of burning coal and with my bare hands press them into a dot i'd have a diamond i would give to you and yet i'd be afraid it wasn't good enough for its brilliance would fade if you were in proximity every day i spend with you i always want a second helping every hour i spend with you it's like a bath of light every moment i spend with you the sweetness of you makes my heart thrum and just when i thought it was pointless for my blood to boil pointless to stock up on sooty carbon briquettes of any sort there you shine a diamond in the sand and like an eager wave i want to come envelope you and all your brilliant facets lift you off the cruel roughness of the shore and gently, gently, carry you out to sea |
