The minimal amount

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

Future plans

Your and my eyes
Dripping thighs
Cool, let the curtain blow

Always enclosed
Rapture happens
I’ll fall asleep in the falling snow

Weirdness and children
Secrets safe within the past
Don’t want you to notice that part

Waiting and waiting
For me to just wake up
Stop tearing my life apart

Pulling teeth (wire)

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

On endings

A word to the man that refused to go to the park with me
We had fun in the white gazebo didn’t we

Your complaints running wild about the wood
Me, just happy that came by you could
I’m trapped in a lustful zone of hostility
I want you terribly under the covers with me

A word to the man who won’t listen to anybody else’s music
You were my muse for so many months
I wore heels just for you because I wanted to be pretty
I wanted you to recognize that I was your girl

Soft and gentle, like the morning sea
You lied there deeply embedded in bed with me
You were so quiet I was afraid to talk
But I spelled out my love as if It was in chalk

A word to the man who thinks he’s badass
You’re a memory I’ll never forget
And when it’s cold outside, when it’s wet
Ending things with you I will regret

The one

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
