like poetry

from rain water by Be Steadwell, B.steady

lyrics

you are like the world to me
you are like a summer breeze
you are like a red, red rose
and every cheesy simile

every time you touch my hand
you feel like a first dance
you feel like a waterfall, a waterfall, an avalanche



I need you to know when you come this close
it's unbearable i am romeo what light through yonder window breaks
what you do to me
it's insanity
it's like poetry


something in the way you do
i feel like im langston hughes
i feel like i'm lucille clifton
maya fucking angelou

something in the way you look
make me wanna write a book
make me wanna write some po-e-try
when i should stick to writin hooks

I need you to know when you come this close
it's unbearable i am romeo what light through yonder window breaks
what you do to me
it's like chemistry
it's like poetry

I look into your eyes
and the whole world ends
you are the sweetest dream
but dreams never make sense
i fantasize in cursive
and everything i do
im in rapture trying to capture all
the poetry of you

every time you say my name
i am like the pulsing vein
i am like the fire wood
you are like burst of flames

every time you touch my hips. GIRL.
i am like a clenching fist
you are like a bonfire a bonfire the catalyst

I need you to know when you come this close
it's unbearable i am romeo what light through yonder window breaks
what you do to me
it's insanity
it's like poetry. Like poetry.
