Borderland

Note by note

Laced carefully around

String by string

A spiral tightly wound

Note by note

Defence in a melody

String by string

I spin my web around me

I am the hues and saturation

Of strong coffee and strawberries

You turn me sepia

But don't take it personally

You smell of nostalgia

And the good old days to me

But some things are best left behind

In forgotten melodies

Note by note

Oh what's that awful sound

String by string

I think I'm losing count

Note by note

Offensive but lovingly

String by string

Why would you unravel me

Curl your tendrils

Around my paws

Where I end is where you start

Curl your tendrils

Around my paws

Where I end is where you start

We're as different as

Sea and sand

Come meet me at our

Borderland

Note by note

This boundary where we meet

String by string

Stitching a quilt of dreams

Note by note

Singing you and singing me

String by string

We can spiral softly
