May I
Drew Thomas, Peter Moses, Tony Bono, Richie Birkenhead
May I love you madly like a boy?
Kiss you sadly?
Feed you tears and drink your skin?
Invite myself right in?
May I?
Her half-child voice falls on my head
Like warmest ocean waves
Gently and deliberately drowning me
And willingly I drown
If I ask politely
Will you watch as I die nightly?
Would you think me tactless
If I act less like the man I am?
May I?
Her half-closed eyes like bows
On a tired tigress
Gently and deliberately
Melt my bulletproof mirror shades
And knowingly, lovingly
Peer inside at my real eyes
And I can't hеlp but smile
No, I can't help
Would you think of me thoughtlеss
If I thought less of myself from time to time
Or if I knowingly, willingly
Lost what's left of my mind
Oh, I can't help but smile
No, I can't help
