Scripted
I wish our lives were a movie, and never
would I be afraid of my vocabulary,
which is very very good because I worry that you judge me
and know the emptiness in my head,
and it's also kind of bad because I love when you agree
but it's about a topic that I couldn't mention
in the good company of a PG audience.
I wish our lives were a sitcom, and never
would I worry about seeing you,
and that's kind of good because the butterflies might kill me
and I know that you know how I shake.
It's also very very bad because what about the jumping for joy
and the mystery that doesn't exist
when a writer hands you a script every Tuesday?
You see I like you too much,
and it scares me a lot.
I don't know what's written on the script
and I'm not even sure if someone like me can fall in love.
I am fragile like an already glued china doll
and no matter how you feel
I will play along until you put me back on the shelf.
I wish our lives were a movie, and never
would I worry about falling for you,
which is excellent because I think
I might
and it's very very bad because I think we were already written together,
and one of us has forgotten the lines.
