You stay with me when I'm sick
with your hair draped like curtains
lips painted red like roses on the table
you lay down with me with your arms wrapped around me
your breath on my shoulder
and your heart in my dry palms
you gave me every part of you
your love, your body, your soul, your life ...
"whatever you want in the world, I'll give it to you"
you spoke to me in silence
but when I wake up
vibrant red flowers are withered
your marks have disappeared
the sheets are new and clean
and i cry

"whatever you want in the world, I'll give it to you"
you spoke to me in silence
but when I wake up
vibrant red flowers are withered
your marks have disappeared
the sheets are new and clean
and i cry
