No Verbal Admiration

I feel out of place,
There’s room for two in my space.
My heart’s big but still
Your share it will not fill.
You’ve always been missing
No matter who I’ve been kissing.
They’ve been like sprinklers
But I know you’re the storm.
Their inadequacy has left splinters
To where my love is born.

I’m a stray cat in the rain.
No roof, just paws in pain.
What’s left is a gram of faith...
You’ve no idea how I’m this frail.

Don’t tell me I’m beautiful,
Don’t tell me I’m cool.
Tell me and it’s our funeral,
Just stay with me and I’ll stay with you.
Your words, no matter how magical
Will break me, create a tragic fall.
Don’t fool me into your insidious trap,
I’ll get hooked on you like they get hooked on crack.

I’m a stray cat in the rain,
No roof, just paws in pain.
Don’t tell me I’m beautiful,
Don’t tell me I’m cool.
Tell me and it’s our funeral,
Just stay with me and I’ll stay with you.
