Crystalline Premonition

Lollipops are so easily broken
My bad habits aren’t the same
Could I possibly think of something lamer? (no)

Hey boy, I saw you today and my eyes flew away
They refuse to leave your face
I tried to call them back but their disobedience remains
Even now as I piece together my campaign

Tradition says the guy’s gonna serenade his girl
But you know my voice is honey-sweet
Just your river of smooth dark chocolate
Stop that, I’m hungry

I hate to admit, my stomach growls for reasons
Not bequeathed under my control
My appetite hired a plane
To sky-write your name…
Into my brain, that is

It’s not my fault
This poem's not what I intended
Thought I would unleash a free spirit
Just letting my thoughts run
Bound by the unfortunate rhyming rules
They like me almost as much as I seem you
Seemingly, seemingly? I beg you not
Partake a role in these fabricated laws
Substitute yourself in my honest favor

Some guys are flavor of the month
But I have a premonition, less than thirty-one
My heart's arrhythmia flies sincere
A rush of blood to the brain, euphoria

This is the part where I beg and plead
For you to consider me
But I go against the grain
Things aren’t the same
It's you my heart sees
