Hush Now
Hush now
As I’m moving up and down
Tracing your muscles
As I’m mapping your image
Don’t make a sound
I’m pressing my story
Up against your body
You’re pulling the memories
Out through my eyes
I’m keeping my promise
I’m keeping this dream alive
Even if it’s just for tonight
I’m keeping this dream alive
Christmas lights dance
Across my skin
Thoughts of where we started
And where we’ve been
As the red lights
Sink in like sin
Thoughts of cheap hotels
-And holiday depression
But hush now
Please don’t make a sound
Lights swimming
Before my eyes
Every single breath
Is a strangled cry
In, and out
In, and Out
every memory a twisted lullaby
(in and out, in and out)
Tonight
You make me someone
I’m scared to see
I’m afraid to know
How I could be
I’m even more terrified
That you’ll see
This is not how we’re supposed to be
Please hush now
Baby, don’t make a sound
Please just be with me
Please show me how you see
Be my mirror
-My broken mirror
Tonight
