Lilac Dove

All it would take from you
The minimal amount
A display of affection

On me, grant me some attention
Oh did I forget to mention
Your girlfriend is boring
You’re already bored to death
Do you want to feel the edge

Find me again
My address is engrained in a permanent map in your head
Just take me to bed
Or let’s talk instead
About why would we ever part again
Why the sky turns pink when I’m in pain

Please say my name
Gently, softly
In your raspy, deep concentric voice
Better than all of the other boys’
Find me
Surprise me

Outdo all the imperfections you ran into when we were together
Create something new with me
No running away
Act timely

Just slow dancing, you and me
Surprise me
If you can find me

It feels like you’re pulling teeth
Laying in bed with me
I miss your character
I miss your strength

I never saw your love for me as particularly strong
But I missed the boat there
You probably had my back there
And if I knew I would have cared

Sweet solace, forgiveness
The forbidden tongue
Forever paying for my bad decisions
Your skeptical eye drawn upon me
Dangerous, vigorous
Gentle enough to kiss like broad daylight
With you I want to spend all of my nights

You will never wake up and forgive me
And you don’t have the characteristics I require
But if the timing is dire
I say let’s bend the wire

I’ll come back for you
I’ll come back for you

I’ll see you in every cup of coffee
I’ll miss you so
The way you quietly lied in my bed
The twitch of a finger

Together we reached
A world beyond us two
And I’d be lying if I didn’t say
That I’ll forever miss you

I couldn’t take the panic
You were filled with distrust
But I miss looking at your face
And feeling insatiable lust

You could have been the one
But you dropped the ball
You could have been the one
We could’ve had it all
