May I Lay My Head Upon Your Shoulder

May I Lay My Head
Upon Your Shoulder?
Just For A Moment
and Not A Minute-Longer?

When Hurt’s Too Heavy
The Weight of The World
Gets To Be Too Much
For This Lonely Girl

May I Lay My Head
Upon Your Shoulder?
So The World Won’t Seem
To Be Getting Colder …

Feelings Get Frozen
From Ice In Veins
But Coldblooded Seems To Be
The Name of The Game

May I Lay My Head
Upon Your Shoulder?
‘Til This Matchfire Need
Blazes Over? …

… and Melts Old Aches
Or Warms My Soul
and Make A Worthless Touch
… Turn To Gold

May I Lay My Head
Upon Your Shoulder?
Until I Feel My
Weak-Heart Is Stronger? …

To Pound Like Drumbeats
In A Girl–Boy Band
Almost Brazen Enough …
‘Wanna Hold My Hand?’

I’ll Make Believe
Somebody Cares
Just For A Second
If You Could Spare …

… Your Broad Shoulders
Gentleman – Bred
May I ‘Borrow’ One
For My Bent Head?

and Share A Secret
Or Solace From A Stranger
‘Cause My Hope of Happiness
Is In Danger …

May I Lay My Head
Upon Your Shoulder?
Until Strength of Your Answer
Tells You To … “Hold Her!”

For Something In Your Eyes
Encouraged and Told Her …
She Could Lay Her Head
On Your Shoulder …

May I Lay My Head
Upon Your Shoulder
I’m A Little Scared
But Becoming Bolder

If You Tell Me “No”
I’ll Walk Away Fast
and Hold My Head Up =
But I Had To Ask …

This Burning Question
In Emotion – Smolders …
“ May I Lay My Head
On Your Shoulder? ”
