I took your hand in mine
and walked down the streets
of tiled memories
yet to be carved
I stole your cigarette
from between your fingers
just like you stole my feelings
without noticing
I lit it in the passenger seat
next to you, just like the way
your eyes light up when they fall
upon my sight
I looked at you, next to me
and mentally snapped moments
without you noticing
I took a drag from your cigarette
the same way I take your breath away
when you kiss me
I filled my lungs with sinful smoke
the same way I fill your mind with wicked
thoughts of me
I exhaled fumes of sighs
the same way you do when I embrace
you for a while
I rolled down my window
and felt liberated, like you do
when you lie there on my bed
with a smile on your face
I put my hand out
to dance with speed, feeling the wind
caress my hand like you do
when you want to comfort me
I took a sip from that cheap can of alcohol
and smiled, it was cold and sweet
just like your skin, when you sleep next to me
in winter
I felt sedated, borderline drunk
just like you when I lay my skin
on yours overdosing you with heaven on earth
I rested my head on the seat
and marveled at the night sky
wondering how such simple beauty
can be so mesmerizing
the same way you marvel
at my eyes,
when they wake up
and
light your
dawn
