A Literary Love Song

oh how i wish that you were here with me

to listen to the stupid song i sing

adjectives and nouns for all to hear

from an oxymoron to your ear

you're every comma and every quote

of every word and every sentence that i wrote

from my mouth do these words spew

every single syllable for you

if i string the words together right

you should see you should be

with me tonight

please open your thesaurus wide

so i can put my dictionary inside

my participle's long been dangling

please conjugate me if you can

you're every vowel in every verb

and every word of every paragraph and blurb

i don't wanna be a footnote

from my mouth do these words spew

every single syllable for you

if i string the words together right

you should see you should be

with me tonight

capitalize me and indent me

please add my chapter to your index

i need your plagiarism

you give great definition

dewey decimal system

if you don't trust me

check my bibliography

and hear me sing...

from my mouth do these words spew

every single syllable for you

if i string the words together right

you should see you should be

with me tonight
