Lover

As weakening as the sleep paralysis
You creep in unexpectedly 
Making me weak everytime

Your words makes everything seem superfluous 
Making me think I've not been alive till now
Your sweet tongue tames me

Your sultry eyes ignites a fire in my heart
Making my heart soft as the fur of a chinchilla 
Sending shivers down my spine everytime

Your love rubs off on me
One could swear it's notoriously contagious
Because I've learnt from you
How to be a sweetheart
