a picture
in the mind

laughing
at imagined conversations

the perfect
song

tears
over me

get out
get out

out.

I am
The word, hanging
At the tip of your tongue
Where I belong

Inescapable
Sought
Wanted

Lost.

Dear friend,
shame we must meet
I do love you
and your company

Only you know
what it is like
Only you
are my soul, solace

But it is
terrible
that I
have need of you

were it that we could meet for another reason,
alas.

they say
to tell a happy story

all one has to do
is end it early

and s-

Oh, oh,

oh.

Read me
see me.

Bare everything
undressed,
naked.

see.

me.

caress,
and hold me

forevermore.

I love you
I love you

till the ends of the earth

I love you
I love you

stupidly so

you know I do
do you?

At least I hope so

for sure, however
I know you don't love

you

I love you
I love you

but it's not my presence

that makes you know it
that makes you feel it

it would be my absence

not I love you
not I'll be here for you

and that

you,

love me.
