Drift.

Please
don’t fear for me
I’ll get there snow or no
With a cure or with a blow
to end it all

This steed
Is trusted by me
I never learned to navigate such drifts
But blindness it is bliss
And my Love please don’t forget
I’m a creature of such willful ignorance

Please don’t kick
Please don’t fight
Please don’t leave my sight.

Hush
Don’t run from me
I know what you’ve been honing
It takes skill to be alone on Christmas Eve

Oh
My wreath
Poisonous and wild
My crazy one my bitter child
I’ve been trained on pain and though it’s draining
I think you might be worth the games you play

Please don’t kick
Please don’t fight
Please don’t leave my side.

Sensuous and sly
You deemed me worth the night
Hair and skin and fingers in
The pain the grin the cramp and then
The freezing dawn
I couldn’t save you
I don’t know if I could turn the key again.
I don’t know that I could turn the key again.

Please don’t kick
Please don’t fight
Please don’t leave my sight.

Please
don’t fear for me
I’ll get there snow or no
With a kiss or with your wish
to end it all

This deed
Goes untrusted by me
I never learned to navigate such drifts
But blindness it is bliss
And my Love please don’t forget
I’m a creature of such willful ignorance

Sensuous and sly
Lovely until light
Reddened eyes and hidden skin
Longing gaze and flight and then
The freezing dawn
I couldn’t see you
I don’t know that I should turn the key again.
