Pushing Against the Chaos

by Olivia Weinkein

you're such a fool and
i'm so in love
i tell you

you don't even have to ask

three steps back and i'm falling now
and all we can do is just

laugh

so many things rewritten
who's looking at the past
or the future
or the moment

my hands your face
this

isn't perfect, no
this isn't perfect

i'm so in love you're
such a fool and
i tell you

it can't get much better
than that

waiting in corners in rooms
in chairs

with my blinders on

where have you gone

I'm such a fool you're
so in love and i
just can't see it

maybe with you maybe
with me maybe with her

and that makes three

shhhhhhhh......

there's a calmness here tonight
and it comes from noone
it doesn't live within you or me

there's a girl and she's so pretty
and you're so bored that you can't

see

and maybe it is me sometimes
when i break another word against
your

head

maybe tomorrow we won't remember
but i'll share my bed
with you

tonight

and maybe this isn't supposed to
matter what it is and what it was
and everything,
everything...
everything.....

everything after

Man, I wish someone felt about me what you've got going in that first stanza. Excellent, excellent work. One of your best.

man, the first 2/3 i read in a second, and then shhhhhhhh.. came and it took me four times that long to read the rest of it all. very compelling. this one sucks me into it just like all the rest of your library.
