heavy rain
by twice shy
this will look pretty beside a war scene
but so trivial, so trivial.
this is all in good time
you say i cause my own wounds,
i say i'm afraid of the blade.
you're foreign,
to these tears, sealed and wasted.
how long would it take to cure this?
say you love me,
say it slow, mean it.
let me and old memories meet.
this will leave a stain on that pretty blouse you bought
blemished, carelessly seized.
this is all in good time
i never taught you to read in between my lines,
i wish it could be easy.
i'm blunt, i sting,
but these words are too brittle.
how long would it take to cure this?
say you love me,
say it slow, mean it.
let me and old memories meet
say you love me,
say it slow,
say it well,
let me and old memories meet,
smile as you say it.
you had your time, but it won't stay.
