to love

(song)

1.

to love
you said
and finished your wine
I know
you bet
what’s sticks in the mind
I read
your lips
and disbelieve
what’s
under ribs
is gonna leave

what’s
under ribs
has butterfly wings
a dozen
fibs
and potions for jinx
a box
of matches
candle tears
and melting
sketches
of you
my dear

(refrain)

it’s a wonderful day
to leave
all questions behind
time to go
time to pay
to  give
what kept us so blind
nothing’s left
only drifts
of dreams
raindrops on the pane
and the silence
a gift
it seems
to mollify pain
it’s a wonderful day
it’s a wonderful day
it’s
a wonderful
day

2.

a coat
to take
my heart and my soul
a piece
of cake
the distance to fall
I catch
your eyes
the midnight train
the last
goodbye
blooms in my veins

the last
goodbye
a kiss on a cheek
you
aren’t mine
a ghost town
a leak
a breath
to make
a wing to flap
an endless
ache
in every step

(refrain)
