I Never Knew You

You’re always dying inside that much
closer to home 
On a crowded street corner surrounded by
people all alone 
Pain in the heart, rain in the dark, the
womb is glum and bitter 
She walks around the corner, it’s like
she brought the sun with her 
Then everything just brightened up, I
couldn’t make this up 
My fingers in my eyes as she walked by
like I was waking up 
And so many words, I couldn’t string a
sentence together to bother her 
I instantly forgot all my plans and
started to follow her 

It’s like the sky opened and God handed
you directly to me 
I know it sounds crazy but so is life,
I’m sinking 
And feeling like your heart is beating
solely for me 

Your legs are long and toned, you must
be walking home 
I love the way your lips move when
you’re talking on your phone 
Intoxicating, your truly ? impurities 
Plague every thought of you while I’m
trailing you like you’re security 
Lost, we couldn’t know our paths would
cross but time knew it 
Feet sticking out the window, a
opportunity climbing through it 
Pain for sale, looking to find a new
taker 
Chance to speak blown, when you looked
at me I looked in the newspaper 

Because the sky opened and God handed
you directly to me 
I know it sounds crazy but so is life,
I’m sinking 
And feeling like your heart is beating
solely for me 

I’m miles out of my way, creepy, I want
more 
Was gonna turn back but you stuck your
key in your front door 
I’m standing across the street, stars
that aligned us to meet 
Standing outside with your trash feeling
incomplete 
My finger aching for your doorbell like
a random blog 
Instead I lurk outside in the cold like
an abandoned dog 
Perish the thought, you should cherish
the words that I got in my mouth 
The only words that can truly explain
how I got in your house 

Because the sky opened and God handed
you directly to me 
I know
