Morning Theft

time takes care of the wound or so i can believe you had so much to give i thought i couldn't see gifts for bootheels to crush promises, deceit i had to send it away to bring us back again your eyes and body brighten silent waters deep your precious daughter in the other room asleep a kiss goodnight from every stranger that i meet i had to send it away to bring us back again morning theft unpretender left, ungraceful... true self is what brought you here to me a place where we can set this love free friendship battered down by useless history an exam in failure but what am i still to you some thief who stole from you or some fool drama queen whose chances were few? love brings us to who we need a place where we can save a heart that beats as both siphon and reservoir you're a woman, i'm a calf you're a window, i'm a knife we come together making chance into starlight meet me tomorrow night or any day you want i have no more right to wonder just how or when and though the meaning fits there's no relief in this i miss my beautiful friend i had to send it away to bring her back again
