Darling, I hug a pillow
in absence of you
Darling, I hug a pillow
to replace your face
Loving you is a trauma
no one else should face
(or sit still for)
Why can't you give me
some physical love?
Why can't you give me
some physical love?
Everything else is in place
except physical love

Darling, you will cry out
for me in the years to come
In the hope of a moment
that cannot return thankfully
Why can't you bring figs
all pulpy and moist?
Roasted in passion and salty in voice?
No longer keeping a secret
of your secret place

Why can't you give me
some physical love?
Why can't you give me
some physical love?
Everything else is in place
except physical love

Darling, I hug a pillow
in absence of you
Darling, I hug a pillow
to replace your face
Darling, I hug a pillow
to replace your face
