Between Two Pillars: Enjoying Your Company

Enjoying Your Company

Watching you watching me watch you walking
Then stopping to talk to me about something
With poses here goes the old game as it goes
Both known it and shown it’s sewn tight all our woes
And left us with breakfast for one when it’s through
When two would be superbly preferred by you
And by me as well but this hell shall endure
As long as we constantly play it secure
Insecure
We are so unsure
Of what we want
We haunt
One another for all that we’ve got…
And there’s always something but nothing we need
I’m just enjoying your company

Quick with the lipstick, pluck, nit-pick precise
Aftershave after bathing and shaving: Old Spice
With praises and phrases, wit skips till unasked
Classy joint points away masking my shabby class
Excluding, we’re choosing, pursuing ideals
Selling fragments in pageants of passionate appeals
But time binds us to what we hide till we find
Like mummies what’s tied down just needs to unwind
And I’m
Sick and tired of trying
Not to be me
For somebody
Who’s doing the same thing, probably…
Cause there’s always something but nothing we need
I’m just enjoying your company

Discussing repercussions of rushing things
Impulsive, repulsive, we’ve toasted our wings
Not to make claim of some saintly paradise lost
But bathwater babies have been lazily tossed…
Whole lot of hard lesions
Have been learned…
But oh, such high costs



So how bout we call it and show all are cards
Let’s kick back and play that old record of yours
Rest our minds wherever they want to go
And empty our thoughts of all that we don’t know
You turn up your swing and we both sing along
Enthused and amused by a like heart disarmed
Then falling asleep with your cheek to my neck
And in the morning how about that breakfast?
Confess
Aren’t you tired of the excess?
Let’s have a toast
Don’t burn the toast!
Whatever we’ve got let’s make the most…
Cause there’s always something but nothing we need
I’m just enjoying your company

I’m just enjoying your company!
