Secrets Spilled Like Tea

What are the things you want to do 
You can whisper them to me too
And he hesitates
Coz he has taken loads of girls on dates
And he knows where the line is drawn
On wrong word and the chick is gone
But my curiosity is impressive
And his desire is confessive
And longs to be known
And though I am only half grown
I have an old soul
And I would like to roll
Like a current in your sea
In a spin with you eternally
As we make it into union
“Are you sure you know what you’re doing?”
You make it sound like a bad thing
And I know I don’t have a ring
But I don’t need some diamond to prove
That I’m not something that you’re here to use
You look down and away
Your eyelashes flash what you cannot say
As if to say that’s why you’re really here
But I love the feel of you near
And if its half and half on either side
Then could you say that I’m down for the ride
Or just for a drive in your car
Will you let me know what you are
If I reveal my bare knuckle grip
And are you sure you’re well equipped
To deal with my ferocious
And I know I come across precocious
You call me childish and I balk
Do you not hear the way I talk
And I look at the sage for guidance
Is sex a form of violence
In the way it is commonly done
And if we are all one
Then why do we have to make two
Into a broken bargain we must pull through
And away from
One minute there and then gone
I remember meeting someone who’s song I remember still
He was vowed for all time then gone at will
And I know it was out of resentment and spite
But I still think of him in the twilight
And hope he’s happy and well
But I kind of hope she gives you hell
For all the choices you took to take you away from me
And I can’t say that we’re history
But I don’t see myself monogamously anymore
So I open the door
To this tall, dark and beautiful stranger
Who reeks of the perfume of danger
And it draws me in like a kiss on the lips
I feel my barrier as it flickers and slips
When he sits
Across from me
So casually
As if he could throw his arm around my shoulder
And he stands so close and now that I’m older
I’m just sorry I didn’t give him the green light
And I wonder if it’s to late to meet him at night
And fight and make up in front of his canvas
All he’s missing is the sandals
For he is burned to within an inch of his life
And he is looking for a good wife
Though I’m not sure that’s what I am
I would take your love over my stand
If I only knew how to stand down
I just want you around
But it’s been six years
And the ancients have cried some tears
But could we just kick back over the coals we’ve crossed
If you love me still all is not lost
