midnight blues

i almost fell into you
cushioned and tranquil
velvety and tasseled
a sacred deep burgundy

you scare me
in the best way
in the way that a sunset scares me
or a good record
a big sweater
a van gogh at twilight

Your eyes are watching me now
As mine are gazing at your back
Your thick, feathered back
feet light and ready to leap
away too soon

forgive me forgive me forgive me
i've overstepped my welcome
i've overstayed my boundaries
flip me back around
i wish i could

oh little dancer feet to tread on your heart
little cherub hands to play the strings on your eyes
pour it out, get it out
i'm stealing the daylight and placing it in your grin, I bet
Just a light I put there...

i'm scared of you,
in the best way.
In the way of blankets,
In the way of green grass and full moon
The way of midnight blues.
