(For Mistletoe)
I knew we were for each other
When I saw you
Me with my magenta hair and wild makeup
You with your shaved and scabby face
And you knew I was for you too,
I know.
Your glee was evident in
The vibrations of your throat
And your claws in the back of my jeans
As I tried to dress for work.
You know I never wanted to leave you
But responsibility was persistent
And I went.
And when it was time for you
To leave me,
I couldn't let you go.
I tried everything I knew to make you stay
To keep you as my little angel
And not throw our love away.
And I'm sorry for making you suffer
In my greed for you, your silent companionship...
But who willingly gives up
That which they treasure above all
Without a fight?
And now I have what's left of you
In a flowery urn
In the room where I sleep
And I've got this issue about orange things.
I despair of ever finding you again
In a sea of souls so vast.
But if I could, I'd swim to you
Quick as a mermaid
And never let you go.
