Magnolia

or will you wait

Until the magenta magnolias bloom

this afternoon

I’ll be leavin

and I’m not looking back

at you

your lost eyes

and your desert brown skin

if you fall will you chain her hand to my shin

will you wait

take me down farway

take me down faraway

to a paradise away from here

but i need some time

to pack up lost hopes

stolen kisses

a broken soul

crumpled love letters

unsuccessful efforts

and borrowed failures

or will you leave me behind?
