•
A starvation of tenderness
Is what you have suffered
I can feel it in your hands
They beg for it
I can hear it in your heart
It aches for it
I can see it in your eyes
They drown in it
When affection suppresses affliction
Such a desperation grows
If only I could fill you up
And save you from yourself
