Where Is The Catch?
the people i chose
i chrish and i adore
and they are like a door
they often open,
to reveal a beautiful room
and they all,
come with a catch
i sometimes leave the door closed
sometimes i put it on the latch
and i sometimes let the cold blow in
i am surprised by feeling
especially when i am the catch
so these eyes can still sparkle
and this tongue can still talk silver
so the door is open
and the room is beautiful
it is more than i had hoped for
it is better than i imagined
let me rush in,
because this needs to be examined
this is a new door
the room is fabulous
so… where is the catch?
