“I Shouldn’t Have”

I shouldn’t have worn mascara.
I shouldn’t have listened to my intuition.
I shouldn’t have seen the words.
I shouldn’t have that song on repeat.
I shouldn’t have listened to the voices in my head.
I shouldn’t have opened your message.
I shouldn’t have said hello.
I shouldn’t cry over what has been.
I shouldn’t have shown you, my heart.
I shouldn’t have done a lot.
I shouldn’t doesn’t work no more.

If hadn’t I wouldn’t have had the experiences I have had. One thing is for sure, I shouldn’t be so hard on myself.

“A Thing or Two”

Sending the right feelings down my flared nerves.
Feelings that turn my brains to mush.
Turn my body to jelly every time you smile my way.
Dreams that wake me all flustered.
Thoughts that drive through all my senses.
Delicious like chocolate that melts around your tongue.
So hot that getting wet causes steam to flow off my skin.
Smells so intense that they are a drug to my body.
These are a thing or two that happens in my day.
