Second Guessing

Caught up in the druthers
Did we take it too far
Or just not far enough
I could be a lot less afraid
If you think the ocean’s deep
You should see my eyes
When they’re looking back
At you into your everything
Not too fast not too slow
Feels pretty expressive
Conveying how we feel
To one another sometimes
Even without words
Picking up on your signals
Attempts in sharing this
Experience with others to
Figure out somehow
What you were saying
If what I saw was real
If I leave it alone or
If I continue to share the story
And find out that
I should go back or
That I missed the first
And last chance or even more
That it didn’t matter really
Whatever we choose to
Spend time thinking about
How much what didn’t happen
Actually matters

Darling

Take out the garbage
Stand up on your own
Wash the dishes
Confess your absent actions
Better off alone
It’s easy for someone
To forget how much he wishes
Another person doesn’t have it
When you have it all
Riding shotgun in a bubble
Is it troubling to know that
I miss you on the inside
But I feel better on the outside
Now that you’re not here
To witness the heart collapsing
My darling dear
Is like artificial intelligence
Taking chances
At guessing what I’ll text next
If English was my second language
Love would always be my first
Si l’anglais était ma deuxième langue
L’amour a toujours été ma première
