Tell Me

Tell me what you said

I was listening, but I

Got distracted

Somewhere along the line...

Your voice is liquid gold

As it pours into my ears

How can I comprehend

When the gold doesn't let me hear?

Your eyes cut holes in my soul

How can I understand

When I'm patching up my spirit

Like pants on a kid in a boyband?

Your hair is weeping willow branches

Swaying in the breeze

How can I grasp your meaning

When the wind's knocked me to my knees?

Your lips, at last, are dripping roses

Bleeding out my heart

How can I apprehend you, love

When my body won't restart?
