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
