COVET

I slip my hand into yours

the day closes into night

and night into day

pull my hand free

and the time drags eternally

troubles like rocks in my gears

pile up and my thoughts go stuck

on you

on you

on you

it’s all on you

You move and I slide

I match your stride

you laugh at my jokes

and there not that funny

the press of your hand

at the small of my back

I sigh as I melt

on you

on you

on you

it’s all on you

you coax

and you crown

I am your queen

and this land that I covet

that I ruled all alone

has now found a king

and my heart is his throne

I open the gates and my joy escapes

on you

on you

on you

it’s all on you.
