namalama in Poetry & Free Verse

It’s not all it’s cracked up to be

Sometimes I wonder if it's me

Am I not all I thought I'd be?

When I kiss his hips with extra care

it feels like nothing's really there.

Maybe I just wait a bit too long?

Or should I try a different song?

It's hard to tell when it's so late

It's my habit to complicate

Every little thing I see

or taste or feel or want or breathe

But don't tell me to stop now

I'm already just not sure how

So why don't you please take the lead?

Tell me what you want from me

I'll make sure I do this one thing right

I'll kiss, I'll scream, I'll moan, I'll bite

We have to get this all good now,

or really I'm not quite sure how

we can give our hearts away

and have a reason she should stay

Because even though our hearts are strong

there's no telling where this might go wrong

We have to try to be

exactly what this girl might need

And even if we're not

we gave it our best shot

We did our best to take the lead

and you can still come home to me
