All-Ears

Experimental structure to further express the emotion and demeanor.

I got a steamin' mind
And my heart won't quit
                               There it is
         on my arm
My sleeve
       I mean
I say the wrong things
         Jump the gun
But I mean you no harm
It's just that
                       I'm shy
                                  With my heart on my arm
I mean
   My sleeve

My hand
    you see
            It works much better
                          than my mouth
My hand
        Is potentially epic
My mouth is shy
                           quiet
            mostly humble

My ears
       come of better use
Just cause
   My bleeding heart
                              on my arm

I mean
        sleeve
Causes my mind
                to cause
                                    my mouth
                                    to stumble

See, I'm the one
                         here to listen

Pull up a chair
  Tell me your tale........

             .............I'm all ears.............
