Call me love

I'm throwing up my hands. 
I don't want this war
Don't let me leave
Stop. 
I'm throwing up my hands. 
Waving the White Flag
Stop 
Please
I'm throwing up my hands
But you were already long gone. 
You used to taste like love
Left out in the cold too long, 
A beating heart 
Murmuring its way to death 
The last glimpse of me in your iris, 
Shoulders rolled in
Feet turned away
Were you really there?
I miss you 
Never covered the years that got lost behind 
Still a stranger in familiar crowds 
Moving through cities 
that don't know my name 
But you can call me love 
I'm the forgotten 
Just like her. 

Call me love

I'm throwing up my hands.  I don't want this war Don't let me leave Stop.  I'm throwing up my hands.  Waving the White Flag ...
