In thoughts than in love

M.R.P 2000 (Bushbuckridge)



I wouldn't be at ease
If we were seen together
In public I'm not yours alone
Neither am I mine
But the ghosty thoughts
Of me, of us
And in private
I'm yours, I'm mine
To our thoughts of us,
Running to and fro
What's right, what's best
The setting, the time
Where to next, to keep you
Please you, the fantasies
How the plan's failing
And still not at ease
As I forget to enjoy

About this poem

Live a little, feel. You don't need to think everything. Stop overthinking. You're human. It's human to err. Why you so afraid? No one's looking. Why aren't you free? What's holding you back? Rules are meant to be broken. Be loose a bit.
