I am aching And skin And bedsheets And nothing else. My hair is a disheveled sunset against a stark white pillow, A flame that does not die down. The intricacies of my fingertips Have not been touched in ages. Something inside me longs for the touch of another. A melancholy Scotsman whispers lullabies To the backdrop of an electric fire. My heart knows not how to rest. I want to feel him, I want to hear him, I want to know that we're both alive. A hand lay upon my shoulder today; Tomorrow it shall be on a plane back to LA. Please tell me what it's like to have someone who stays.

A Scotsman and a California Boy
I am aching And skin And bedsheets And nothing else. My hair is a disheveled sunset against a stark white pillow, A flame that does not die down. The intricacies of my fingertips Have not been touched in ages. Something inside me longs for the touch of another. A melancholy Scotsman whispers lullabies To the backdrop of an electric fire. My heart knows not how to rest. I want to feel him, I want to hear him, I want to know that we're both alive. A hand lay upon my shoulder today; Tomorrow it shall be on a plane back to LA. Please tell me what it's like to have someone who stays.
