Persuasion

On dark cold nights, I will keep you warm
Wrap you in blankets, and serve you hot tea
Staring in your eyes, letting the past stay behind
Through thick and thin, I will be at your side
This is a promise –
                           remember me

Don’t say a word, this is the true me
I will fight for you, and take you away
Holding you in my arms, no sign of letting go
Nothing can get between us, you are mine
This is a statement – we were meant to be

I will build you fires, even dig you a lake
I’m falling off a cliff, and you’re coming with me
Be sure to stay quiet, you are only mine
Until the end of time, I know I am what you want
Stay here – you don’t need to go anywhere

I care about you, if you cannot tell
But you don’t act upon, and that hurts beyond belief
I will make you stay, I am yours to keep
You must believe, do not turn your cheek
Just be sure to close your eyes –
                          before I shoot you in the heart

But remember me.

On dark cold nights, I will keep you warm
Wrap you in blankets, and serve you hot tea
Staring in your eyes, letting the past stay behind
Through thick and thin, I will be at your side
This is a promise –
                          forgive me
