If I lay beside you

If I lay beside you

Will you share my dreams?

If I place your hand upon my heart

Will you feel my screams?

 

If my teardrops land upon your lips

Will you taste my fear?

Then cast away those demons

Into yester-year?

 

If my mouth touches yours

Will you use your tongue?

To trace my lips as if a road

To a place where we belong?

 

If I lay my head upon your brow

A cross between two furrowed fields

May we hold each other tightly

And together be unpeeled?
