Shadows falling
I scale back the grip on the reigns
Her smile possesses me,
It forsakes me, then retakes me
Careless caregiving
I cannot fathom my own peril
For her slender fingers entice me,
They chase me, then erase me
Stave off regret
For another hour, two at most
Her voice is beautiful slander,
It directs me, then infects me
Tempestuous
Building shelter is my priority
For her storm consumes me,
It supplants me, then replants me

Shadows falling
I scale back the grip on the reigns
Her smile possesses me,
It forsakes me, then retakes me
Careless caregiving
I cannot fathom my own peril
For her slender fingers entice me,
They chase me, then erase me
Stave off regret
For another hour, two at most
Her voice is beautiful slander,
It directs me, then infects me
Tempestuous
Building shelter is my priority
For her storm consumes me,
It supplants me, then replants me
