The Idea of Staying MAG
I wish I could lock the doors
 So that the idea of going
 Would lose its pull
 And the idea of staying
 Would thicken the sheets
 And cool the outside air
 
 Perhaps that's why you'll leave
 And come back again
 Perhaps that's why you'll stay –
 Because the wind is too harsh
 And the sun too shy
 
 I wish I could lock the door
 And lace my fingers in your hair
 Prop my head on a pillow
 Close my eyes while you stare
 
 It gives me a thrill to be looked at
 Narcissus aside
 But the knowledge that your time belongs to my wristwatch, not yours
 Or the thought that you're here without influence
