A lover's lift

Lover, you need a lift,
Where are you going with that?
London doesn't build upwards
don't you prefer that sprawling brick
flat and desperate for a repaint?
Can it fall for you?
Can it withstand rain
and emotions
for you?

Lover, I'll lift you lying on your back
Your length so imposing and high up
I'll dance with your weakened spirit
and keep your feet on the ground
I'll splash words around you
Sung and said in dysfunctional lyric
yours, all yours, like my skin.
