Painting roses with ribbons

Fiddling with the tangles of your
-hair, it slips from my fingers.
Tracing the lace beneath your
-clothes, the buttons snap open.

Shuddering with fervor I slip my
-hand inside your dress and feel your
-velvet skin underneath my breath
And so I smile in anticipation and wait.

And wait...

While you sleep so sound and toss and turn...

I wait...

For the perfect time to wrap myself
-around you and keep you close.
Coz I’m painting roses with ribbons
-painting roses with... (With...)

I watch you whisper murmurs to the moon
-hear you sigh every moment I close my eyes.
I feel you grab my shirt as I move away
-Feel you pull me near and...

I wait...

While you sleep so sound and toss and turn...

I watch and wait...

For the perfect time to wrap myself
-around you and keep you close.
Coz I’m painting roses with ribbons
-painting YOU with... (Me...)

You open your eyes and look at me...
I see you reach out for my
-insides but you fade away...
-I open my eyes and look at
-the empty space beside me...

And wait.
