sexual tension

we'll shatter dishes
in our old houses

she says her mind will never be a whore
and I whole-heartedly agree

he is trying to move his ankles
he never knew how to really breathe
he just wants and wants and wants
and wants for some people to
come and leave

we made deciscions in a hurry
and did things real fast
we always knew we'd get stuck in honey
and honey it's the past

always trying
to stick off topic
to not follow the plot
but we are gravity

oh sexual tension
from the head to the knees
I feel I could change a little
if I only tried

oh sexual tension
I begged and pleed
if I could get out of this fucking maze
if I only tried

he pushes away
he makes an effort
he says to her that he's not sticking to his guns no more

she was always little frightened
and he was like a werewolf
then they turned the moon off
I kinda agree

oh sexual tension
like a scar in chest
lets have a skin graft
and only love it when we want it

oh sexual tension
I will try my best
I will strip down to my veins and bones
I will throw myself away
I will write binding letters to myself
if I only tried

oh sexual tension
from the head to the knees
I feel I could change a little
if I only tried

if I only tried.

LOL, of course I cannot know,

perhaps I have been conditioned to the "sexual tension" that is part of every American television show. Or, just maybe, you didn't convey your own. Just a thought. cheers, Jess

ta for the comments purp

you've been consistently commenting for a week or so now, so big thanks for that as I love some consistence. yes, it wasn't meant to be a blunt and outright feelathon in the grass with all the fleshy bits showing. certainly not an american tv show, and still, you have no idea. .................................................................................. stop rambling about how things were perfect, are perfect or will be perfect. perfect is imperfect, and imperfect is perfect.
