Milk - Allie X

Yellow light bulb, incandescent

Caught in nightgown, soft and fragrant

Don’t put me down

In the bathtub after dinner

Swaddle me for twenty minutes

Don’t put me down

You turn the lights out

I’m all alone now

My thumb in my mouth

Oh, I need your love

Take me in your arms, an eternal embrace

I will be your kind, I swear this time

I won’t push you away

Is it all dried up?

Unconditional love?

Can I taste it again?

I need milk

Underneath the kitchen table

Pick me up and make a cradle

Don’t put me down

You don’t like the way I’m growing

Lock the doors that used to open

Don’t put me down

I throw my key out

I’m all alone now

Can I sleep in your house?

Oh, I need your love

Take me in your arms, an eternal embrace

I will be your kind, I swear this time

I won’t push you away

Is it all dried up?

Unconditional love?

Can I taste it again?

I need milk

Oh, I need your love

Take me in your arms, an eternal embrace

I will be your kind, I swear this time

I won’t push you away

Is it all dried up?

Unconditional love?

Can I taste it again?

I need milk

I don’t know if I’ve been missing something that never existed

Don’t put me down

Let me backen from the wild, I can be your golden child

Don’t put me down
