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
