tenderness
hymn of the indulgent ascetic ...
i held your hands
rings
(but none on that finger)
we danced and danced
but i was scared to go
much further with it
just half a chance
make sure that
one night you're here but
next night you're not
it always leaves me
searching for a little
tenderness

(when you're sick to death
of second best)

why should the morning
always find you unimpressed

[oh this all-night longing can be such a long time]

Syrope the way he spoke about her, without a single drop of tenderness, made me feel like i might be justified.

people like us, we don't have to compensate

unhinged such a rare commodity. my soft parts stabbed so many times with words, looks, i'm afraid i lost all of mine. steeled against the gutwrenching emptiness.

your eyes, hands so soft when they finally held me. such a rare commodity.

Okay well and fine.
Your words passed in through one ear and out the other because even in that, you lied.
