The Way It Is With Us

You have no idea how difficult,

it is to write this poem,

How can I say the things I should say,

They can't be captured with pen,

And there's no placement for you either,

best guy friend, sometimes lover,

definitely we've got the benefits part,

but your like my psychic twin brother,

I've never let anything between us,

but a poem is just words on a page,

So I'll have to do it like everything--honestly,

and maybe we'll laugh about it in our old age,

So I'm going to sit here and do what I do,

and this is an intro to my poem to you,

��

The first time I saw you I thought "Damn, trouble,"

you were a rebel fresh out of prison,

That wasn't type at all but life changed me,

and matched us up on some decisions,

You were there at the beginning,

when I went wild and let fly,

You were watching in the wings,

and I must have been bottle rocket high,

They say the good times,

are ones you can't remember,

I lost at least seven years,

and woke up one September,

But let's not talk about now or me,

baby this is your show,

and if you want to get it rocking,

call in some babes to start a rodeo,

Yeah you know it, you used to talk like that,

but now the real you can't hide,

cause I've opened up your heart,

and pulled out all that's great inside,

So lets talk about you, the guardian,

always there for a friend,

And yes, you going to the parties,

with me and the Drunken Hat again,

Hell, we met Marilyn Manson,

did things of Hunter S. Thompson fame,

Damn I think in New Orleans and Disney World,

they've got us on their list of names,

So much, so much fun,

Let's put away the clown,

cause "I got you babe,"

so I'll never get too down,

Entertainer, pianist, always a trick,

and damn boy you can even cook,

You'd take the spotlight away from me,

except I'm "Legs" so you've got to look,

You're so good at being a friend,

that sometimes I forget that there's more,

but I'll always remember,

when we walk along the seashore,

You and I and the ocean,

and a sliver of a moon,

a sea turtle laying her eggs,

and the tide coming in soon,

I get wavery at this part,

I'm always some other guy's girl,

Even though I know you love me,

and would give me more than one world,

Oh, but sometimes I'm free,

and fearless and fierce,

and mortal man dare not approach,

for fear of broadsword's pierce,

Yet you are always welcome,

to slip into my bed,

it seems that you belong there,

for your always in my head,

In your strong arms I feel at peace,

though I won't often admit,

There's something more in your dark eyes,

and sometime I can see it,

But then your back to being big brother,

We're boxing and I'm on the offense,

but I'm in a fine dress tearing my stockings,

We're drunk and none of it makes sense,

Then we're playing video games,

and I'm kicking your ass,

But the symphony comes,

and I dress formal for class,

And you give me that look,

that stirs me deep in my chest,

and I wonder, glamour fumbling,

if best friends really are best,

And we contra and waltz,

You learn to read poetry,

I feel guilty but special,

because you do it all for me,

And you have been through all the bad,

when the typhoon storms raged,

You held me when I felt wild,

and tried to free me when I felt caged,

When I said "I want to jump!"

You said "Let's do it together!"

You screamed into the wind with me,

"Best friends are forever!"

I slipped into the waves alone,

to swim out to the deep blue sea,
But soon you surfaced to let me know,

that you would never be leaving me,

We swam with bottlenose dolphins together,

and saw a single star in the ocean's blue,

We dove off the prow of a shore bound ship,

because I decided I couldn't out swim you,

You waited out a decade long storm,

though now and again there's still some thunder,

But you survived, which not everyone can say,

because I'm like a dark cloud with a hint of rain under,

But let's not get too serious,

It's time to get our kicks,

So that means hit the bars,

and start scoping out the chicks,

Then off we go on a Harley,

for another whirlwind ride,

You look sexy in that jacket,

Do you want to come inside?

All night we keep the pace up,

A little party for ourselves,

We've got the hook up,

and we don't need anybody else.

Waking naked on your chest,

everything feels warm and right,

but then boots go back on,

after all it's always just for the night,

It was always supposed to happen,

You and me doing the dating thing,

We never really dabbled in it,

And now you see I've got this ring,

And the problem is it's not from you,

though maybe it should have been,

but we can't waste our lives,

thinking about back then,

Or could we? I sure am,

Look how long this poem is,

But the poignant question now,

is am I yours, or am I his?

We both know the answer,

and you're a loyal friend,

who will walk me down the aisle,

and shed tears with me at the end,

I know you love me so much,

that you only wish me bliss,

Though I may not be with you,

I want you to know this,

We have a soul connection,

And must trust in fate,

Life cycles endlessly,

For the next rebirth we'll wait,

Until that time we'll be as we are now,

and I know we'll have lots to discuss,

Like this poem's meaning and how could I do this?

That's just the way it is with us.
