Tornadoes - Steven James

Just sit there

girl all you have to do is sit there

I’m eye sketching your body

starting with your hair and ending at

happily ever after

I’m a disaster

And not that you should border shut against my winds of fury

or worry

but its safe to say that i’m once again going crazy

love sick lazy

my motivation

it’s lallygagging with thoughts of your eyes

oh my God your eyes

look i’ve never seen so much forever

and never fall under the impression

that a collection of taunts is worth your thoughts

girl the rest of the world is just jealous

and heres the thing

I’ve been pushing a diamond ring since the age of twelve

and hell

i’d be damned if you just got up

and walked my way

and your lips shaped the words that say

you feel the tension between you and me

and then your lips go on to say

that you want to break free

at a cost of loving for eternity

girl quite simply

you’re a tornado

spinning on top of an active volcano

the eruption is spun and cooled

you’re a volcano cannon to space

Shooting out your heat to any

accepting, orbiting planets

affecting all those

who have been cold long enough

to melt by your presence

you see

I’m a planet

but no longer am i in orbit

i’ve shifted my continental plates

so my magnetic field is attracted to yours

and i’m on my way

at least thats what i want to say

and theres so much left to be said

but not enough ink left in my pen

so i’ll just go until my pen is dead

i’m tired of waiting

others stay dating

while we stay debating

whether the weather

is clear enough for us to move forward or not

lets just get caught

and let this painful time lapse rot

i want to tell you things you don’t even know

like everyday

these feeling for you

right here girl

they grow

and heres to you

i’m on you like glue

no like super glue

no like gorilla glue

no like two hearts have never

been so attached like this before

type glue

and i can’t even fathom how you became so amazing

i mean others stay complaining

they must not even know you exist

because if they knew you exist

they would be trying to resist

this overwhelming urge to kiss

and reach some sort of final level of bliss

that could only be obtained through

a whole lot of us

and a whole bunch of this

i mean we came together

and our hearts could finally see

quite simply

i’m a tornado

spinning in a vast empty field

my winds are spun and dismissed

i’m a breeze lost through time

shooting across the land

effecting all the near by trees

who have stood long enough

to stand steady to my push

and you’re a tree

but no longer are you rooted

you’ve taken a fall

and you’re coming with me

and i know that theres so much more you want to say

but know that no matter what you

or anybody else says

you were mine all the way

and i’m going to make this okay

so just sit there

girl all you have to do

is sit there
