I'll wear my hair long
and throw my lipstick away.
I'll go where you go
and rest where you rest.
I'll hold you so close
that the darkness
can't wedge itself
between us.

I'll feed your heart
and tempt your soul
and you will always
be enough
for me.

But some days . . .
when I'm sideways
and the weather
wants to change
I may look yonder
and see a shining star

I may smile

and chatter

and fly free
