Hush, Love.
Muffle your cries
for I forbid.
With your free hands
block out the deluge
of lies that screech.
Stay here in my arms
as you fall asleep.
Let me sing you
a lullaby to remind you
just how wonderful
life can be.
Sleep, darling.
Sleep.
It takes two to Tango.
You can dance with me.
Close.
Close.
Closer.
But I'll never
let you go.
I would hold
you close to me.
So even when
I don't say a word
you can feel my
heart beating.
Look at my eyes,
aren't they scintillating?
They are the
only stars you
need to see.
So close your eyes
and let darkness sink.
Kiss my lips,
can't you feel the smile
it has twisted itself into?
It's the only
feeling you need to know.
So let yourself be
carried away by dreams.
Careful now.
Tread along the
pathway gingerly.
Do not step on
these still waters,
see?
Terrifying creatures
lie beneath.
Follow my pace
and you will be safe
from it.
Fear not,
you can't wander
from me.
As silently as
the memory that rewinds
in your mind,
I'll stay here forever
but do not speak.
