Ode to PANTS

I have a monster crush on you,

A super-dinosaur!

It sits upon my chest and throat

And yet I beg for more.

When you’re away I miss you so

My heart is full of sand.

Yet when you’re here my stupid fear

Won’t let me touch your hand.

I cannot sleep, I cannot eat,

I’m so wrapped up in you.

My thoughts drift up, away from words,

And fade into the blue.

I know this crush is not your fault;

The dinosaur is mine.

Yet if you could, please rescue me,

And put your arms around me, and hold me, and say

You love me, and Oh! God! Would that be good!
