Hooda Helami And The Epidemic Of Loneliness

________________________________________________________________________________________________

makes the heart 
a mess

It keeps saying NO
when it should say
YES

It doesn't know
who to hold
all it can do
is fold

Lay your cards
on the table
give her a wink
and say you
are able

By morning 
there should be
no shame
waiting til then
to know each other's
name

with a heart
that's wishin'
it catches something
while fishin'
***

    NEXT VERSE:

    If it's not too late
    that she swallows the bait
    Life will be great

    And here's what you do:
    YOU are now a pas de deux
    but there's more
    cuz Earth becomes
    your dance floor.
