Yo Soy

I am your light, your thoughts, your button,
Your rum, your skyscraper, your apparent action,
I am your most industrious thought.
And I am your cross, your suitor, your dali
Your bread with jam, I am your appendix,
Your mascara, your purse, and your blue jeans.

That's why I took the risk to feel
That's why I got close without a warning,
That's why I carry you
Out of habit and I confess it bores me
To see you for just a bit.
That's why I sat down to write
For this half hour you give me
You'll know it's not a sin to relax for a while
Especially if nothing else happens.

I am a poem hiding from the paper,
I am the one you call when it's 6:06
I am the one who seems and the one who is
And I am a crutch, a sunflower, and communion
I’m part of the part, I go where I go,
I should take you, but I won’t.

That's why I took the risk to feel
That's why I got close without a warning,
That's why I carry you
Out of habit and I confess it bores me
To see you for just a bit.
That's why I sat down to write
For this half hour you give me
You'll know it's not a sin to relax for a while
Especially if nothing else happens.

And I’m a small candidate for a heart,
I’m a lost cause because I’m leaving now
I’ll leave you with your boyfriend and the song,
I should insist... but I won’t.
