I wear you around my ankle
my wrist
wrapped in,
tied in, close
and I wait for you and
tomorrow
until the day
when you are willing
to absorb
facts, reasons, emotions
in this existence,
with no need to cry

myself, I have lost a night,
gave you life to
recklessly roam
and never to settle,
in my failures
a misbehaviour
considered
bright, brave, benevolent,

speechless
still asleep,
calm, when you wake
will you take me
just take me in
and let hold of me
I still want to take it
slow

and go
you needn't love me
to let me go
I want to take it slow
and hush,
silverstone
you should go
to kiss the past goodbye
and quit
to kiss again
someone reckless,
someone new.
