7 songs in 7 days challenge, day one. Prompt, "Puppy Love"
lyrics
when i'm deepest
in the darkness
somehow your face still comes to light
with all its stillness
all its realness
with the fullness of the night
and when I'm weeping
somehow creeping
your name carries through my breath
as though you whisper
while I'm sleeping
so that I can never rest
and I know, no, I know
that this wasn't puppy love
even if it wasn't quite enough
we were mired
in the force of
finally finding something right
but so tired
beat by resistance
that we lost the will to fight
though I knew, no, I knew
I'd never say goodbye to you
even when you asked me to
you should know, you should know
that you still hurt
(for whatever that is worth).
