Lillies and Ghosts

Be my Lover

I know I'm a fool,

I never follow the rules,

I know I'm a child,

But, my god, you drive me wild.

The single memory,

Is a paragraph of melodies.

The contradictory,

Sentences I now write,

Not something I can fight.

I'm headed straight for the floor,

Show me to the back door.

If you want me to leave,

I'll leave.

Be my lover,

Not a friend,

Not another.

I swear I wouldn't try so hard,

If I could just talk to you.

But my heart,

Won't let my brain,

Open my mouth.

There's pictures in my head,

but I'm drawing blanks.

If all I could do,

Was get a smile out of you,

and a "Yes"

I'd be at my best.

I swear,

I swear.

I know I'm a bear,

but my dear,

What am I supposed to do?

Be my lover,

I won't blow your cover,

All I want is your presence,

Not your acceptance.

Be my lover.
