::: But Not :::

[gnutmeg]

I wanted to write you a love song
but someone else had already used
all the words I'd wanted to say
well, that wasn't nice of them, was it?

the dream of a flower nuzzles your ear
and you echo its tranquillity
if only I could be so pale
but I am no fragile thing to break

just because I give my voices names
doesn't mean that I'm any less mad
but I would give you even that
and whisper it for your heart
