Vespertine
A lover, ruined.
Pale Midnight. (Infatuation, 2) Who are we when our bodies touch? When the sighs of my skin—dark as the bark of a tree beneath the night—reach your lips? When your fingers—muted sunlight against a window pane, often mixed with clouds—learn me? Who are we when we part? With guilt. (Feel nothing but me.) With rejection. (Take nothing but me.) With desire. (Accept me.) Over shudders And whimpers and Pleas reaching peaks, Midnight calls. Won't you answer?
