lingering in the lyric of you


a myriad of flaws cling to me with claws

i wait for you to waver and finally withdraw

i’ve rarely been employed at bringing you much joy

you’re looking for a man but only find the boy

you think will run away and rather would not stay

i’m painting this with pen in effort to allay

 

kiss me and you’ll know i’m still in love with you

a kiss is just a kiss but only yours will do

take me as i am the boy within a man

disturbed beside the curb waiting for the trash man

to take away the things no good to anyone

he’ll find me hard to lift from weight of all i’ve done

 

but i would make the choice of one more day with you

then live a hundred years without you in my view

oxygen gives life and you’re the air i breathe

i want you as my wife let your fears be sheathed

kiss me and you’ll know i’m still in love with you

a kiss is just a kiss but only yours will do

 

***
