velvet tongue

tell me what I want to hear

don’t break the news

don’t give me truth 

just sing your melody in my ear

 

 

entrap me, enchant me

make me stay

if it weren’t for you, velvet tongue, 

i would surely have gone away

 

 

dim the light inside me 

so yours can burn brighter 

and you will whisper to me,

”you’re a lover, not a fighter”.
