Please take my time

 Please Take My Time

the more I know 

the fewer questions I have 

about my role and 

what comes next 

we could take turns 

you could drive for a while

as I head for your curves 

please take my time 

you’ve put a lot work

into yourself 

curated a life 

despite this mess

as I untangle riddles

written yourself 

I get drawn into knots 

tied like you’re seven

we could order another course

finish the wine 

but if you’re sure you’ve got to go

please take my time 

amidst the devastation 

in spite of the death 

there’s a new horizon 

and some beauty left 

we can fight all night 

and still make the bed 

get it right once  

and never again 

until then 

I’ll just rhyme these lines 

leave the suitcase 

but please take my time
