she's not herself

[suburbanhero]

when you tell me,
that you want me,
what should I think?

and how could I,
be just like you,
and not know it?

you ask questions,
and I tell you
my favorite things.

and this distance,
is unwanted,
unbearable.

she’s not herself
right now.
hasn’t been for years.
and she’s not herself
anymore.
she’s just so likeable.

how is it
that you ask me,
perfect questions?

when I tell you,
that I want you,
what do you think?

and when I tell you
that I love you,
do you like it?

so ask yourself,
when I’m done here,
should we try this?

and she’s not herself
today.
different than before.
now she’s not herself
at all.
I’m getting used to her.

but then you say
that you’re lonely.
and I crave you
but not too much.

open doors lead
to crowded hearts,
so be careful.

open minds lead
to crowded thoughts,
so choose wisely.

please come over,
and we’ll lie here,
my warm body wrapped
in yours.

but she’s not herself
she said.
she wants me.
and she’s not herself
tonight.
she needs me.

and she’s not herself…

without me.
