Sweet Dreams
I lay on my right arm,
My left puts you to rest,
My chin on your head,
And your body to my chest
You moan when the air
So much as shifts around
Don't worry my dear
We are both safe and sound
Your breath remains rapid,
I get you're still learning
To take a breath outside my dome
You're still under my wings
Let's learn to count together
One, two, three,
Learn to breathe with every number,
The stars are here to see
Your breath slows down,
And your arms go limp,
I leave a kiss on your forehead,
And you curl up like a shrimp
I shift to see your face,
For my right arm starts to ache,
Where you once were, ashes prevail
And in reality I lie awake
