My attachment to you is inexplicable.
Unknowable.
The box with which Pandora could not resist.
The way I slowly crept my way upon your rugged columns, and wrapped myself around your curves like a summer ballad.  
Please don't hate me for this.
Yes, your outer exterior appears shrouded by my veiny, dexterous figure,
but what I cover, is why, as well.
We are one now, The two of us,
and so, when you hurt, so shall I
When you cry in anguish from the relentlessness of the night winds, I shall sway with you, never relinquishing my claim.
Sleep now.
You have been standing alone much too long.
Rest now.
So that the birds may rest upon our *****,
And we shall never know loneliness again.
