Songs for Susannah #3

Just like one may miss the sunrise

And awake to the sun ruling the sky

I seem to have missed your ascension

I cannot remember when you took your place in my life

I only woke one day at your feet

Surrendering my will to that which you please

My Queen

Every night when you sleep

The sun sets on my teeth

And I am afraid to open my mouth

Afraid to cry out

So I swallow my screams

And write you dreams

Sunshine,

Should you wake again today

Shine your golden rays on me

In your smile

In your hair

In the curve of your lips

Lift the sun from my teeth

Settle on my skin

Burn me again before you leave

To take your place in the sky

Unreachable for yet another day
