Composed 8/18/13
Description: Inspired by an unexpected visit yesterday.
Don’t you want me to call you darling
And take your cares off at the door
And hang them on a rusty hook
As you rest your head on my shoulder
Don’t you want another’s ear
To whisper warm melodies
And fingers to press against the keys
When passion floods your heart
Don’t you want to wage war
Sharp tongue battles into the night
Feel the sting and thrill of anger’s slap
And turn our swords when intruders come
Don’t you want a companion
To make you laugh as you journey on
Six hours later falling
Pleased into home
I know you do
Then why do you leave
Alone
As I ask questions?
