pale white

it's hard to see you
your pale white
against the sheets of white
and you're so still
in the dark tonight
fragile
but i would hold you
keep you safe
keep the dark away
if you'd let me
but a touch could hurt
why would a stranger be first
i won't move
this gift is for you
when you're ready
until then hide snow white
wrapped in the innocence tonight
i leave you this gift
i will wait in the dark
we shadows will wait
one day you'll believe
and beauty won't suffer for art.
