Answer Me Now

I’ll be your poet for tonight

Trace sweet nothings across the backs of your hands,

My fingers dancing on your skin

Cursive words in invisible ink.

 

And if you fail to feel my touch

I’ll be your singer for the night

Sing the verses in a broken voice

The mournful moans of a lovelorn soul.

 

If still my song doesn’t reach your ears

I’ll be the artist coloring your world

In sun colors, brighter than the smile you grace me with

 

Close your eyes and I’ll be the air around you

The air around you, I’ll be.

I’ll be all around you.

How will you stop me then?
