Slow Dance

Another cup, another preface to a letter
Our time is up and still I wish I knew you better
The wind inside my curtain
Like words I’ll never hear you say to me
Love consume me
Move to me like a slow dance
Hope submit me
To anything you can
Life presume me
Beautiful as my romance
Don’t permit me to settle for my death again
I search the floor, I search the length of what I’m choosing
My stones in store, my deepest love in what I’m losing
I read you like a story
I hoped you would come true for me someday
Love consume me
Move to me like a slow dance
Hope submit me
To anything you can
Life presume me
Beautiful as my romance
Don’t permit me to settle for my death again
You are a motherless child
You are a brotherless child
You are a fatherless child
Going home
