The Wanderers and Their Shadows - The Dandelion War

Oh no, it’s not love

Unless we’re both in it, darling

And though you’re alone tonight

I can’t be the person to always fill your void when he’s gone

We both know it’s temporary

So trade your deceitful guilt for the convenience in words that Wilde uttered,

«Those who are

faithless know the…

pleasures of love;

it is the faithful that know love’s tragedies»

It was a cold summer night

When we first traded playful glances

And with our drinks in hand

All our inhibitions slipped right off us

And we fucked all night long

While our adulterous shadows

Defiled the purity of your bedroom walls

After the fervor of the night

With the thrill your body incites

I feel indifferent at your sight

Our shadows gone in morning light

Darling, I can’t be the one to

Always fill your void when he’s not around

I know it’s not fair

But darling, I will never love you the way you need me to

No, I will never love you

So please just go
