Work Text:
If you sleep, I sleep
If you wake, I wake
But don’t leave me, my darling
Cause without you I might not stay.
Turn over at sunrise, so I can bar the sun for you
I'll pull the curtains down
And darken the glaring ray; for you,
Never look at me in the broad lit day.
Every day I follow you,
As promised I will, till the end
When the day ends and you return home – I’m still following but the darkness never lets you know.
The day you'll earth yourself,
Will you think of me then?
Because I will have neither you nor my thinning existence.
It's hard you see,
To be the one behind you,
In love with you,
But you knowing me only through poems, well read.
Would you like me?
I think everyday
But if you knew, you'd probably laugh
And tell me I'm infatuated.
You look gorgeous, I forgot to say–
With the sun gleam on your early morning face
Or even when you look at the moon
To find your lover instead.
At night,
On the way back home,
I'm trailing behind and barely sticking along
But then that car honks and you look back,
The street lamp shines over your eyes,
The dusty orange shimmers down the highs of your cheeks
And as you flutter your lashes, the moon too kisses your thoat.
I just ...
Fade away.
