Roll the windows down
Because it's getting harder to breathe
With your mouth on my neck
And my hips on yours


Roll the windows down
Because it's fogging up now
And it's getting harder to see
Who's coming our way


Roll the windows down
So they can hear me scream
As you push me down
And I pull you in


I live for these stolen nights
With your arms, strong, around me
And your kisses, hungry, to feed me
Your voice, ecstasy, to calm me


But daylight is coming
It's too soon, I know.

We have to roll the windows up
I can't let them see me
In this stranger's car
Dreams lost when waking,
Sea spray, tangled kelp wafting,
  .  .  .  Briny taste of her.

How will you convince a man
that his own garden is beautiful
if he insists on
looking over the fence?
Interpret it as you wish.

i want to cut myself
open, and pour out every
word i thought about
telling you but never did

and stitch myself
up without anyone's help,
and clean away everything
i have depended on to fill
empty spaces, and replace it
with something new

i want to paint over my
wounds so that i don't have
to be reminded of what
i went through to get here

i want to be beautiful without
you, i want to be courageous

and I swear to god,
he is Midas
because the memory
of his hand on my waist
makes me feel
golden
