Let me fall back into your heart,
And lie besides you
On this purple, diamond sea.
Let me unpeel your skin from your bones
And find again the love within you,
Running blue against your wrists.
Let me still visit like an old friend,
There to protect you
From those burning sienna skies.
Let me take from you the bottle, the dagger too,
For I will not let you
Lose yourself on these frothy, hemlock waves.
Let me, though I am dead, still beat in your heart,
For I will not leave you,
Until you too are ready depart.
