You turn me to Ribbon
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
When you hold onto me
I fall apart again
And you turn me into ribbon
So I cannot feel the pain
You brush your lips against me
Like silk I float in the spring air
And split into a rainbow
Surrounding you with care
I dance like sounds on crystal raindrops
As they pound the beating heart
I whisper how do I love you
and you whisper how do I part
