Stricken

Location

Everything is silent here.
Baby, let me take away your fear, of
love.
Love is lost, love is found.
Love is short, love is far bound.

I called out for you,
At a quarter to two in the morning.
You didn’t answer, love is boring.

I’m just here for this Sunday morning drive,
I’m just here for you to take me home at five.

Why am I so exciting,

and you are so boring.

I am so inviting,

this scene is abhorring,

Why am I so struck?

I stay so struck by you.
