And If Keeping My Arms Around You

And if keeping my arms around you

I squeeze you much too tightly

I hope you don’t forget me,

Your eyes oh so flighty

And if I can’t keep your mind off

The drastic measures you take

Our dreams will suffer softly,

For they’re awful things to fake.

My mother will stare helpless

As I experiment in you

The Paris longing feeling lovely

To stay inside our dew.

Fashionably late

our eyelids will become

Staring into sockets

To save growing numb.
