There is the fear that death could separate us
And that I have to rush to you
To profess my love
Til above
Reaches in its hand 
And takes away my only man
The only one I’ve ever sought
To give myself to beyond the taught
And you are serene and beautiful 
But your skin’s as thin as cotton wool
And the people are all saying I’m crazy
But it doesn’t faze me
I just take a step back
And their affection feels like an attack
On summer wine
As they take my time
And make it theirs 
Hands up if anyone cares 
I know they will say they’ve got the best of intentions
It’s just that they never mention
You, anymore
And I wonder if that closed door
Has slammed shut
If only I could get out of this aperture of slut
As they all seek to cling
Coz, God knows, they’d hold onto anything 
And I open out my palm
As the bell rings an alarm 
In the hall of calling like it is
And is it a surprise that I’m still his
In spite of the battleship
That is equipped 
Somewhere along the shore
To hammer at my door
Like a man knocking on my breath
But it hasn’t opened to him yet
