Neither Lovers nor Lusters

We are not a love story

and we are not a lesson.

We were just two people wasting time.

Comfortable in the in -between

hiding from our truths.

You didn’t love me

and I didn’t want to love you

Between the Lungs

He said “I think you just need fingers

ran through your soul

like you’d be doing to my hair.”

I said, “that’s not fair.

Don’t say something you might not mean

It’s one thing to make me needy between the legs

but even worse to make me needy between the lungs.”

Touching You

I’d hold your hand

trace my finger along the crook of your elbow

to the curve of your shoulder

the hills and valley of your chest

the slope of your neck

to the tussles of your soft, cinnamon hair.

Take More

Its always worse at night baby

Always hate to be apart baby

Wish you would be mine baby

Wish you would take more 

than just my time baby.

Fire Away

Well I’m getting on without you, baby

Even though I still miss you, baby

Men call me beautiful 

and I call them back.

But no matter how I try

I’m still thinking of you 

at the end of the day.

Hoping you’ll give us another shot.

 

Just Stay

We don’t have to think about tomorrow 

Or our past

Just stay here with me

And feel my arms around you

Just take what you need in this moment

More Than Just Me

He holds me tight

and I wonder if he’ll love me past tonight.

I fill my head with nonsense

Wishing we could be

More than just a you and a me.

oh, How You Kiss Me

I like how freely you express yourself.

I wish I could do the same

to show you how good I feel when I’m with you.

Do you kiss every girl like that?

Would you kiss me like this if you didn’t feel anything?

Kiss me absent mindedly again

and we can both pretend not to notice.

Gently

I’ll let you keep the upper hand

if it makes you feel secure enough

to keep me around.

I know you’re scared to be vulnerable 

but baby, I’ll hold you gently.

Not the One

I wish we didn’t connect the way we do

It would be so much easier letting you go.

Caring and sweet, we’re good for each other.

But you know I’m not the one for you

and a piece of my heart breaks off in the distance.

Midnight Melody

You’re so smooth 

I love the way you move.

I want to hear those sounds 

you can’t hide.

The ones you don’t even realize you’re making.

The ones that course the blood through my veins.

Skin Deep

I want to give you pieces of me

So slow and steady

I hope they sneak right by you.

Let me under your skin

I promise it will feel good.
