Words

I'm in love with your words

and not with your face

I don't know your name

I don't know my place.

My heart was with you

from your very first verse

did you know that your words

are just like a curse.

Just a taste of the song

running through your veins

it fills me with thirst

it fills me with pains.

I want to know you

I want to know your words

write to me darling

help feed the birds.

These birds are odd

they dwell in my soul

eating and waiting

and taking their toll.

They are fed by the words

of a kindred spirit

they cry out when they know

they are ever so near it.

My lovely words

I need them so

I need the words

so my heart can go.
