Curl thin and spindly arms around me
Leave silent kisses on the nape of my neck
Tell me your deepest, darkest secrets
Whisper them to the dark and let me catch them
Let me press fingertips into your cheek
Let me softly touch your eyelids in wonder
Let you paintbrush stroke my arm
Let you comb my mermaid hair
Wrap me up in your warmth
I’m shivering with cold and starlight
Press soft lips to hard lies
Let me sleep
Let you love me
