If you would take away your hand off my mouth and— and nose
Not at once
Not totally
…
If you would simply take away your tangled tentacles off my brain
Not at once
But for good
…
If you would simply free my eyelids from all the weight you put on— I allow you to
All at once
Simply for good
…
If you would just keep the heart with you— only the right side
All yours
The right side
…
If you would simply be there for me— cozy afternoon tea
Not possible
All has changed
