Poems about her
I write poems about her
And show you individual lines so you don't get suspicious
I write lines about the times she organised for us to do something nice on a budget
About how I once bought a KFC bucket just for us to tuck in
I write poems about her
I write poems about how we made love and even we couldn't our instincts would step in
The tension that she left was enough for me to lose my breath in
How the sex felt like we were the only humans who could ever get it right and we unlocked a level in life
Thinking about the foreplay itself sends shivers down my spine
Thinking of every time I kissed your back to your shoulders and then
I can't say the rest because I don't want to disrespect the lady laying next to be asking who I'm texting at this time
But I'm not texting
I'm writing poems about... Her
I write poems about how she makes me feel like she appreciates me and wants to listen
How she's up for anything
How she smiles at adventure and makes an effort to see me as much as I do her
I smile as I read over the poem I wrote for her
Then I role over and see your gloomy face complaining again
You don't do much
Just say no to every suggestion I bring then spend the end of the month complaining that all we do is stay in
So I write poems about her
I write poems about her because she's everything you've decided not to be
I write poems about her because she brings out the best in me
Because she puts in effort like she's not done impressing
I write poems about her because she makes me feel like she's grateful
And doesn't say shit like
'well you're only doing what boyfriends are supposed to do'
 I write poems about her
Because she's you
 
Before you got complacent
Before you decided you're going to demand excellence but deliver basic
Before your I can had a t at the end
Before the silence in your presence became deafening
Before you decided that the jobs done and you don't need to put any more effort in
 
I write poems about her because I can't accept that you're still here but I've lost you
I write poems about her so I don't feel crazy about the romantic things I do
I write poems about her, because if I don't I'll forget you
 
I write poems about her to remind myself why I love you
 
I write poems about her, because if I don't I'll forget you
