Soft Fruit -

Like an infant trying to find

Comfort in a deafening cry

There’s chaos in my heart

I’m being ruined by desire

I never asked for more that what you’re offering

BUT maybe I should think about it

Give me until tomorrow

And then

Could you eat again?

Soft fruit surrounds the core of my thoughts

And you’d never be bored

You would never be bored

I’m resigned to live in your palm

Longing to receive command

I’m here to be ignored

Open and close a hundred times more

Did you know?

You’re always keeping me in the dark

I’m always waiting

I’m so patient

Could you eat again?

If you knew how I moved through the night

You’d cry every time

You’d cry every time

Could you eat again?

Soft fruit surrounds the core of my thoughts

And you’d never be bored

You would never be bored
