Please stay a while?
Please stay nestled by my thighs
Be picky about which fingers feel you
And pick my pocket. Pick mine!
Hold me for this short while and comfort me with your presence
Hold me down, fill my belly and my pockets with your presents
Please don’t leave?
I know you are not like leaves in a tree
But hang with me for a while
I’ll do what I can to keep you around
I’ll tie myself to a desk
I’ll suit up and clean another’s mess
Could you please come back?
My devotion to you makes no sense
This determination to make some cents
You’ve populated my mind and polluted my worth
My patience is now paper thin
Let me hold you in my hands
Sit on my itchy palms and my touchy fingertips
Pocket yourself on my thighs
Rest folded on my behind in the safety of my wallet
Please stay a while?
Pick my pocket, be mine
