Summer Love by Leila Scott
Am I Wild Enough
My weaknesses are running in front of me
making moves before I can even speak
I let them bleed for you
I let them sing for you
But they weren’t wild enough
I let them strip for you
These sheets entangled me
But even they couldn’t hide
My fears that you’d leave
I felt your heartbeat
Find a rhythm against me
A pattern on repeat
I Don’t Want To Know
Body rounds to the floor
Those words that make you weak
Tell me to focus
I don’t want you to speak
If you had the choice
Would it still be me
Pretending to be something that I’m not
I hope you don’t see
The uselessness you’re bringing out in me
Soon
You could have all that you’ve wanted to
In time, in the name of grace
Love is not a race
It’s meant for two
There’s so much we still haven’t gotten to do
In time, in the name of grace
I’ll have the chance with someone like you
When You Come Home
My thoughts wander
Trying to follow you
Wherever you are
They lose themselves
In contemplation
Visiting all the others
The ones before you
Searching for answers
Finding a place
They can make their own
Waiting for the day
