Dream well my sweet prince
Do not wake until you feel my hushed breath on your cheek
Whispers in your ear
Sleep forever, beautiful one
Do not rise until you feel a feather run across the scars on your throat
Fingers in your hair
Rest silently my darling
Do not rebirth until I have saved your soul from all torment
Needles in your heart
Now I lie by your side
Do not stir until my arms release you from my longing hold
Love warms your cold body
