The Staves

I wake, curled like a field mouse,
Wrapped in your arms, I know
The house is still asleep.

Seasons pass in a hurry.
"Do not forget", he said,
"I know you best of all".
I burn, I break, I try to do right.
You ache, you kiss, you curse,
But you lie with me tonight.
I am a wisp of a woman,
Caught in a gust of wind
I disappear, like smoke.
You are, cover to cover,
From beginning to end, my friend,
The man you ought to be.

You are, cover to cover,
From beginning to end, my friend,
The man you ought to be.
I burn, I break, I try to do right.
You ache, you kiss, you curse,
But you lie with me tonight.
I burn, I break, I try to do right.
You ache, you kiss, you curse,
But you lie with me tonight.
