Marie's Plea

You are my secret
You are my shadow
Wrapped in spiral folds of mystery
I am your garment
I am your gamble
Caught in the throes of a new ecstasy

Gather the blanket
Tear at the tangles
Steal from the heavenly maiden and feed
I am your safety.
I am salvation.
I am the willing victim you need.

Say that you love me
Say that you want me
Tell me you need me to hide you from sin
Say that you seek me
Say that you see me
Anything more than what's under my skin.
