Barely

When my love complained, every word
A breath on my last dandelion
And so lovers will leave and their tears
Souvenirs for the very first timeI searched the world reluctant
To find a lover enthusiastic
Speak to me barely if at all, if at allWhen I was a boy, funny things
Water wings kept you confident
A belly of wine, similar
To keep yourself indifferentI scraped the bargain basement
Bought a lover less than fantastic
Spoke to me barely if at allYou taste perfume that burns my throat
And I am free of envelope
Squeeze an instant out of meShe placed a hand between our lips
How could anything be so precious
She even kissed me barely if at allShe, with her hand between our lips
Gave me what we now have in common
She left me barely if at all, if at all
