Stay With Me

Follow me. Take my hand and my lead. Let the sticky, cool night air Swirl in circles at our feet. Beg the moon to stay around Beg the moon for you and me. Talk to me. Parting your lips right on beat, Hiss the s’s, roll the r’s Let your voice fill the dark, The tone dissipating with the wind Until the silence is complete. Lie to me. Tell me all the worn out lines Like beat up leather, Bound and gagged. Don’t hesitant, don’t break this gaze Just bask in us tonight. Pray for me. Clasp your hands around My own and hope the heavens Hear our midnight song, Like a broken record, Blasting into the oblivion. Stay with me. Don’t let the listless Air keep you from caring. Rest your forehead On my shoulder like a Child on their mother.
