She clung to me like willow shade,
With one step I'm in the sun;
If my day got hot and hazy,
I knew where to run.
She dropped a force field round me,
From ground up to my crown;
I burrowed once beneath her,
But I was digging down.
*I want to cross the street.
I want to ride a bike.
I want to stay til morning,
To keep with her all night*.
I listen for the breathing;
A sign from her eyes;
I want her lips to move and lie,
Only babies cry.
She lay with no reply.
My willow waned and died;
