eccentric
in the way you plead
plead
can almost remember that
laughter from long ago
the only thing that's clean
oh
leave
just take me all in your arms and hold me tight tight
rip open my soul with your tenderness
and that other worldly caress
like it's out of your mind
driven by love
and purely blind
but oh lord
i've suffered,
like you wouldn't believe
not that i'm a special case
or that i'm even on my knees
but i got some good heart for you
some loyalty too
no contradiction
though everythings upside down
i know this is what i'm meant to be
i can feel it in my chest
when i love, truly, i know
you'll help me with the rest
so
hold me a little closer still
the tears are
washing down my face
against my will
but
it feels good
expurgate the nasties
that run so deep
and my womanly pride
aches so bad
for that unborn child
i can do nothing else but simply weep
