🎹

It’s not a lack of interest...

I’ve just grown quiet in my need.

"Would you call me when you get this?"

I’ve left space... For you to read.

We go to all your parties...

And when you arrive, I leave.

Or "he lingers like he tends the bar?"

Until sleep... Tugs at our sleeve.

I could stay another hour…

Wait through the marrow of the night,

"it interests you where we are?"

If you’re the soul... In my light.

I could stay another day…

Wait through the sorrow of the light.

"if it interests you where we are?"

If you’re the soul... In my night?

🎹

I want all your attention...

But your friends, they call it greed.

"They don’t hear the prayers I offer?"

Just that silence... What've you seen?

I don’t want to feed the crows...

But I’m too taken with their grace.

"Let me hear what you won’t tell them!"

Let me see... Your secret face.

More than just interest...

My dear.

Just devotion,

stripped and clear.

Just not casual...

Just near.

More than just interest (interest).

"The last time that I called you; you were heavy on my mind. I don’t say it for interest; you wound the clock I hide behind!"

Interest...

Like an android on a train (interest).

Interest...

Like a jazz-man fum-fers pain (interest).

Interest...

In the spell-check of your name (interest).

Interest...

Still the same (interest).

It’s more than interest...

My love.

It’s devotion,

sharp and above.

It’s not passive...

It’s a dove.

It’s more than interest (interest).

Yes, it's more than just interest...

That I swear.

Take me nowhere...

I’ll still care.

We can vanish in the air...

I will find you there (interest).

it's more than just interest (interest)
