La Vendetta Dulce

Feel the chills in your body, tight gripped
As my fingers travel down you back
We were switching sensations and smart looks
You and me in the car when we were seventeen

Be careful with your words
Please don't just say what comes to mind
Rehearse sophistication
The clever actress could use the practice.
We're in uncharted waters
I paddled for two, you burned the map
Our sail's a tattered canvas.
Ignore the captain and look what happens

Rest now, no I won't sleep as sound
Searching desperately to find honesty in you
You're so beautiful, but I'm not giving in this time

Now I'm no poet
But I'm betting I can learn to describe you in ten lines or less
More hostile
Sing these like the first words you spoke,
But not to me
Regret this like days you bottled up and set to sea
