Butter Knife

I'm wide awake

You are sleeping

Oceans of land

Away from me

You will awake early

And I will close my eyes

Drift off to sleep

While you start your day

So far away

I wish we had more time

To put the pieces together

To spend time together

I wish there was another way

I keep thinking that we have to make it work

Although we can't force it

I keep thinking that we have to try harder

To make this work

We can't coerse it

We cannot memorize scripts

When they have never been written

Only continue to be smitten

And wait

I must learn to wait

And not aggrevate

Only alleviate

Fulfil your need

For companionship

Although I want a relationship

I've always needed romance in my life

Even though I can't be your wife

I'll always be your butter knife

If you let me slide across

So smoothly
