Let Me Come Over, I Can Waste Your Time (I'm Bored)

You nabbed my heart
There have been only
Clear skies since then
And it stops me dead,
What once was
Replaced by what is
(He's got a warm soul, this one)
This feeling, I know
It burns in my chest
Infinitely real as these
Berry kisses, milky white fingers
Your skeleton
I want to drape it in Spring.



I have been listening to The National a lot more lately for some reason. I think it has something to do with Matt Berninger's voice and his songs. Their lyrics are very simplistic. However, their simplicity has a certain depth that both captivates and confuses me. I recommend "Afraid of Everyone" or "So Far Around the Bend", which I've quoted in previous posts. Cool. Yeah. I'm late for short story writing class.
