Tiger Lily

Tiger Lily 

Someone beat on the bathroom door and Amusia came out smiling,

and skipping and springing ,hopping and singing to the music that the cafe had playing.

 

Pretty little peach how did you know I’d come to squeeze your sweet skin between my teeth?

Tiger Lily, swinging with the breeze ,how did I know you ‘d leave your fragrance on my sheet?

If you are here than the end must be near and I’m not afraid of the change.

I ain’t lived long but I have lived hard. I’ve loved it here and it’s strange,

I never believed in myself all those years. I always thought I’d wane and I’d fail.

Now to have earned your heart I’m confused, have I died? Are you my “just life’s reward.”

 

The galaxies backbone casting our shadows, as they kiss on the ground we’re in love.

Your lips are so warm they leave me trembling like the storm shakes the leaves on the trees just before.

 

Pretty little peach how did I know I’d come to squeeze your sweet skin between my teeth?
