Marks On My Skin (My Sunny Counterpart) -Revised-

on a sleepy christmas morning

with snowy eyes and a dreamy heart

i pull the curtains back

squinting to see the sun

 

i shrug at cigarettes holes

gives my cardigan character

the smallest imperfections

just like the marks on my skin
 

wrinkling my nose, tiny sniffles
wrapped in blankets
not nearly as warm as your arms
cold compared to your touch 

 

and if i let you in,

will you be my sunny counterpart?

i don't dare sleep this morning

i might miss your *twinkling* eyes

 

and when you rest beside me

i admit, the silence is too much to bear

when my whole heart leaps

and then hums with anticipation
 

when the power goes out
we'll be content in each other's arms
smiling into the dark
feeling each electric spark
 
don't forget the sweet smell of my perfume
the way I run my fingers through your hair
intoxicating like addictive fumes
 you're the drug i'll always choose.
