Barely

When my love complained, every word A breath on my last dandelion And so lovers will leave and their tears Souvenirs for the very first time I searched the world reluctant To find a lover enthusiastic Speak to me barely if at all When I was a boy, funny things Water wings kept you confident A belly of wine, similar To keep yourself indifferent And I scraped the bargain basement Bought a lover less than fantastic Spoke to me barely if at all Taste perfume that burns my throat And I am free of envelope Squeeze an instant out of me And she placed a hand between our lips How could anything be so precious She kissed me barely if at all And she, with a hand between our lips Gave me what we now have in common She left me barely if at all
