Kiss Me Idle

roses dead in dirty water held up by the vase once a gift good-bye but now remind me to replace hardened petals bang the dresser when they fall away kiss me idle kiss me without make-up, leave no marks upon my chest kiss me for no other reason then to give your eyes a rest kiss me slow and leave me lifeless, let this all digest kiss me idle slowly, slowly, the longer it takes the better mistakes we end up stumbling on i wouldn't want to leave upon your tongue a sour taste leave it foiled and disappointed, wanting to be chased a mouth that's open wide and speechless seems like such a waste kiss me idle one time lazy, another time dear, despite all your fears of outlasting my love i can't afford the stubborn sleep on photographs of birthdays past so close your eyes and catch your breath and i will wait right here i tied my fingers to remind me to leave you every day while my hair is growing white, the strings are turning gray one by one they come undone until they fall away kiss me idle kiss me idle
