Butterflies in my tummy

​ The thousandth time I caught myself looking straight down your cleavage Stopping short of and crash landing unto your heart The thousandth time your smile imprints on my mind and your giggles play over and over again in my heard A one hit wonder The thousandth time my heart skips and I break a sweat when you turn the corner The thousandth time you brushed your fingers against my skin and I I felt a million volts rip through my core, bouncing around inside me with no escape The thousandth time you come to me crying about how he doesn't love you anymore The thousandth time I remind you that you can do better, that you deserve better. The thousandth time I wanted to tell you that I will never break your heart. That I will cherish you and love you and be there for you and worship at the altar of your feet.

I dream of seventy

For seven odd seasons I felt you rock your self to sleep.  Seventy miles or seven inches, your heart beat synced with mine and I could feel you as you did me.  An empty life till I was seventeen, it took seven tries, seven trials, seven lonely walks down seven flights to break the curse of sevens.  Seven scares, seventy seven days and seven hours left the magic dead, buried seven feet deep, my heart torn into seven million pieces.  I dream of seventy. The seven thousand hours it will take to piece this heart together, to get it to beat once again.  I dream of seventy. My heart, old, patched, will beat once more.
