Marmalade Voice … Camie Del Rosario

by Camie Del Rosario

Christened this bedroom with the tears from my heartache Moved in but felt paralyzed when the earth began to shake Beneath my feet, The rug pulled out from under me.

Cold, dark, and dreary is how this room felt Just three days in, there on the ground is where I knelt collecting the pieces of my shattered heart. I heard a song once that said, “Love will tear us apart.”

Didn’t think I could find home and that chances for love found the end But you walked in and I felt my heart beating again.

My heartbeat sounds like the sound of your voice. Under the light of the moon, my evergreen soul will rejoice You are my favorite choice You and your marmalade voice.

Walked by the water and found you standing there like my wildest fantasy I had to stop and stare in awe, could you be real? Could I trust myself to lean into what I feel? The words that you speak result in my effervescence. My soul is tied to you; there’s warmth In your mere presence.

Didn’t think I could find home and that chances for love found the end But you walked in and I felt my heart beating again.

My heartbeat sounds like the sound of your voice Under the light of the moon, my evergreen soul will rejoice. You are my favorite choice

Ohhh marmalade voice You’re so sweet to me. Marmalade voice, won’t you Stick with me, baby?
