Bleary eyed
Bleary eyed
and sleepy still
I unwrapped you
of the morning
like careful fruit
with forbidden flesh
made sweeter by
the scorning
My hands still shaky
from kisses sweet
and the dark hours
of night's embrace
I checked to see
if fastened vines
my heart had left
in sliv'ry trace
While you slept
I looked inside your chest
to see what there
was growing
I saw my heart
with quiet eyes
to you side its self
was gently sewing
I saw my heart
with quiet eyes
to your side its self
was gently sewing
