Lilac

Oh, I think it's over
Say it ain't so
A Lilac pushing himself through the snow

Salivating for spring
Begging to be pollinated
But I'm just too faded
I cannot be baited

And I don't think I can water him
His ravenous roots keep drinking from my lips
Is that all there is?
We pacify the present reminiscing on our genesis
Is that all there is?

Oh, it's so damn easy
To set my soul alight
Enter me gently
Look me in the eye

A cacophony of needs
Singing simultaneously
In dissonant keys
Then I wonder why he can't hear me

And I don't think he can water me
My insatiable limbs are reaching endlessly
And I'm begging please
For the way things used to be
For some goddamn reciprocity
It could be so
It could be so
It could be so easy
