Tread Softly My Darling

\nAnd if I could I’d offer you the velvet skies of night,
\nBejewelled with half a billion stars and secret sparkling light.
\nI’d see you wrapped in nature’s greens with flowers in your hair,
\nAnd watch in silent rapture as you strode across the air.
\nI’ll never see you dressed to suit the way you look to me
\nThe finest painting ever wrought, in peerless poetry.<\/p>\n
Each carefree word you utter is a song inside my heart,
\nEach time you leave I suffer as my mind is torn apart,
\nYou make me and you break me in so many little ways
\nYou’re a rose in golden sunlight, I’m the background in the haze.
\nI am only held together where your love has stitched my seams;
\nSo step softly when you’re walking, you are treading on my dreams …
