Circle of Confusion
25/4/2017

She wields that smile from left to right
Every shoulder a potential lover
Every knee willing to bend
Every heart already broken at the seams
Her smile catches every wave it seems

On a simple Monday evening we shared a drink or two
We headed out to hear the bands play
Every tune was a wrecking ball to my Miley Cyrus heart
I had to leave before I fell apart

It’s the circle of confusion
As she walks into the room
All the men stare in wonder
The women feel it too
They know the fragile fondness
That kept them close til now
Has just become like sand
To the beauty of her waves

She could tear a ship from its moorings
Shake a mountain right where it stands
Move a building from its foundations
With the smile she has at her command

I wanted you and I wanted you to want nobody else
I wanted nobody else to want you back
But truth be known you won’t belong to nobody but yourself
I left so I could be that way as well

On any other night I’d say ‘It’s alright’
On any other day I’d shrug it off
But something in the air
Has me hanging somewhere
Between the clouds and the bottom of the sea

I’m letting you leave me like so many hearts before
Your distant shores like heaven’s door are not fit for the likes of me
But if ever you happen by I’ll gladly have you by my side
I’ll give you something to smile about
Between Rumi and James Dean
