Disclaimer – I don't own or profit from Ed, Edd N Eddy.  However, the poem itself is mine.  Rated PG-13 for slash and some light 'adult' situations and language.

Special thanks to Sara2000 for suggesting I continue where Double D's poem left off.  Without that push, I might never have written this, and I rather like it.

Well, enjoy.  Peace, all.

Eddy's Response

Back

by Eddy

I saw your heart laid out on your desk the other day

I'm sure if you'd known I was there you would've put it away

But I snooped cuz that's what I do

And I do what I do to get close to you

***

I'm sure you're feeling like you've been exposed

Like you'll only get hurt because my heart's always been closed

And I can see in your eyes that you want to run away

But what will that do, Edd, we see each other every day

***

And if you're thinking of leaving I'd have to hold you back

And if you tell me you're my friend forever I'll hold you to that

Because you can't get out just 'cause you think we're on the wrong track

There's no going back

***

I was wondering which of us would be the one to say the words

But now that they've been said it seems nothing else is heard

Who knew you'd be the one to get me on my knees

Begging you, I'm begging you, but still not saying 'please'

***

You've got me all tied up in knots

For someone free I feel so caught

And look, now I'm lashing out at you

Look at what you made me do

***

And if you're thinking of running I'd have to tie you down

Because you're not leaving me alone in this hole in the ground

You can't leave just because you're afraid to crack

There's no turning back

***

You're listening to Ed rant about his buttered toast

I'm looking at you wondering if you're who I want the most

Then she walks by and I expect the both of us to fall

But I'm still looking at you and I can't see Nazz at all

***

Your eyes are still on mine, I wonder when they got so bright

I also wonder if it's wrong for me to ask you to stay the night

I know this isn't right, I've heard all my life it's wrong

So why is it when I touch you I feel that I belong?

***

You're crawling into my bed and I know I see a blush

I wonder what it would be like just to have one little touch

I can't help it, I have to kiss you

And when I do

                   It eases all the bad I've ever been through

***

So if you're thinking of going I'd have to go along

'Cause I'm not the one in this relationship who's strong

And though I'd never say it without some wise-ass crack

The true truth is Edd

                   I love you back
