~Perspective~

I understand
in life
sometimes we
fight the
current and
other times
we run
with the river
I want
that velvet  sweet

I was
made to
taste your
kiss I
was never
made to
fall away

magic is
angles and
deception weighs
heavy on
your heart
I'll wait
don't forget

shake the
excess no
more lies
no mas

I'll shift
my perspective
even if
I shift
it doesn't mean
I'll really
know

like Sarah
Vaughan said,
one look
at you
and my
heart grows
tipsy in me

sometimes I
feel lost
in a foreign
town let's
keep make-believing
this clock
ticks down
and seems
to be teasing
