we have been strangers
we were real
we've kissed from across the street
we've spoken in more than words
covered in more than clothes
we've fought nameless battles
you made timeless promises
they sometimes come true
sometimes fall through
they have lingered
longer than they should
these hands
while they sooth
you never seem to fall asleep
you never seem to fall
never with your heart
never in your soul
a coat of wants
no t-shirt of needs
you crash even louder
un-carpeted by greed
the hunger for more
but never something more
the carousel of ecstasy
never stopping on your turn
only you know
you get what you want
only you know reasons for your wants
the reasons you taunt
the reasons you tempt
the reasons you stop mid-hand
I've faltered with my share
I've overdone the care
followed through hesitantly
when wants pour in when it's too late
