  5. So Just Kiss me So just kiss me and let my hairmessy itself in your fingers tell me nothing needs to be done-no clocks need winding There is no bell without a voiceneeding to borrow my own instead, let me steady myselfin the arms of a man who won't ask me to bewhat he needs, but lets me exist as I am a blonde flamea hurricane wrapped upin a tiny body that will come to his armslike the safest harbor for mending

  6. What I wanted I am not from here I am not from here,my hairs smells of the windand is full of constellationsand I move about this worldwith a healthy disbeliefand approach my days and my workwith vaporous consequence  a touch that is translucent  but can violate stone. I guess what Iwanted wasto hear you'd stay with me always. I guess what Iwanted wasto see those hands vowingnever to leave my own. I guess whatI wanted wasto know I am not loving in vain.

Insecurity you don't callI check againI become uneasy-  is this a frame?Suddenly i'm not so sureI check my sourceseach conversation becomes a crumbhow easily I'm ledhow stupid I've beento believeyou could beloving meyou who can not be seducedby anything other thanthe temperanceof need  each one facilitating the nextand suddenly I see my placethe phone ringsyou say hellobut I don't believe you

  8. I Keep Expecting You To I keep expecting you to fade to wake up one morningand not care so I keep myself one carefully measured step away in anticipation of your love's decline so when your cheek turns and your attention wanders elsewhere my heart will not be left all awkwardhangingfrom an elastic thread you forgot to pull off your old pair of socks for it's in your nature to lose interest suddenly we are both artists who suck the marrow out of each lovely bone It just happens to be my lovely bones this time How bare
