indelicate

"if you don't mind the shaking,
i don't mind the heat.
and all of this is making
out to be

a most ideal compromise;
your hand between my nervous thighs
and my hands carving
out a plea.

i would love you back if i could.
i would love you back if i could.
i would love you back if i could.
i would love you back if i could.

if you can stand the silence,
i can bear the burn.
and we can turn the violence
into good.

two broken halves don't make a whole,
but lies can help maintain control
when i can't love you
like i should.

i would love you back if i could.
i would love you back if i could.
i would love you back if i could.
i would love you back if i could."
