Beautiful Thing
to know
my love, the way your lips move
my inability to watch you falter is my own
steady my shaking hands
beg you to sit on the green velvet couch - fall to your knees
beneath the window and as the sun rises
our living room becomes a makeshift chapel and i vowed to never leave but oh darling
to know
the inevitability that you will forget me someday - soon.
steady my shaking hands
beg you to stay just a few more moments
lay your head on my chest
watch the sun
set.
