Silly

You gave me a ring
And told me it doesnt mean anything
You just bought it coz you thought it was pretty

I slid it through my finger
Trap me

I wrote you a song
And told you it doesnt mean anything
I titled it this
Don't put your heart in it

You look a picture of disbelieve
Now the ball's back in your court
Why don't you do something about it?

And then
You had to say the three
forbidden
words.

I think of time dangling from
A paper clip.
I think of pigeons flying from a
roof.
I think of waves undulating from my feet.

"Oh silly."

I felt you bruise
like a peach.
Then I felt you pick up the ball
and put it back
in your pocket.

oooo
So now I've got no more balls to keep
