Lavender

All that love I never got

 

And yet somehow 

 

I have it in me to love you

 

More than I thought 

 

 

 

 

As I feel maybe I am healed

 

From a love that had me, on my knees

 

The kind I always gave away

 

An excess, overflows, and yet stays

 

 

 

 

Like the scent of a lavender field

 

To the winds designed to steal

 

Or to be taken, by those who crop

 

Soaps, balms, the precious oil drops

 

 

 

 

I am a magic, helpless on a bright day

 

I\'ll rub my love down your spine today 

 

Scatter right, before the winds arrive

 

On your worthy skin, if I may?
