Pumpkins

I'm leaping through pumpkin isles,
I look back and I see you smile.
You tell me that I look like a baby deer.
I turn around and go back to you,
I start playfully punching you,
And you pretend that I've broken you.

You take me by the hand,
And you show me a pumpkin I might like.
I smile and I see you feel satisfied.
You tell me that it was nothing but that you tried,
And I hug you with all my might
And you pretend that I've broken you.

Boy, I'm as little as anyone could be.
Why do you keep teasing me?
But anyways I keep on smiling.
I poke you around your chest,
Wondering if you've got pecks,
Then you pretend that I've broken you!

Again I say, boy, I'm not that strong.
I'm as little as the town I'm from.
Then you see my face
And grab me around my waist.

He tickles me every where!
I think the words, but I do not swear.
I'm laughing until my ribs really hurt.
I tell him, boy, I think you've broken me,
I can't seem to get back on my feet,
C'mon, I'm as little as anyone could be.

Then you sit up right,
Look me in the eyes,
And you take my hand so gently.
Here I am, looking you in the eyes,
You don't understand how much
My butterflies rise.

He says, "Girl, you've broken me,
Why can't we just already be?
I'm here waiting for you to be mine.
I see your eyes are beautiful,
Take my hand, you're something more...
Then just a friend.
Girl, I'm broken...
For you."

Blocked

There is really less to say,
I've written what I've had on my plate.
Writing was a filter for all my love.
But everything's already lifted into the sky above.

It's not that I've lost my love,
It's not that I can't write.
It's thinking of more things to say,
And saying it right.

I've been strewn down
Because of not knowing
What else to express.
I'm feeling empty and burdened,
Speechless and compressed.

Writer's block.
That's what this is.
Not knowing what to write,
Not knowing what else to express.
Speechless and compressed.

Don't Shoot Me Down

Cuz I will fall,
I'm not the master of it all.
Here I am with all my love,
But you don't understand it's true.
All that I am is here for you,
Nothing about anybody else is real.
I keep telling you what I feel,
And it's like you don't believe me.
I'm not bulletproof,
I've got you to lose,
And I never want that to happen.
I love you, and that's the truth.
Just believe in my words,
Let my heart be heard.
