Down in the shadows of your deepest secrets
I sleep next to the precepts you hold most dear
Your heart is in my province jour upon hour

I shiver when you feel the cold,
Everything you say I hear
Like a bomb and its fuse,

We bring bright light

But I could be a devil to you

I could bite like a tarantula

Right through the skin

And leave my poison dream

Deliciously Unsuspecting

Protecting you from all harm

Except perhaps from reasoning
