The Night

Hit your peak at 28

Looked at me like I was meat

Licked your lips and cocked your head

Moved your hand across my leg

Leaned in close

Loved your nose

Warmth of your breath

It made me blush

Couldn't hear a word you said

My heart had stopped, thought I was dead

Nodded dumb

Felt like ****

 

We're on the street

The night's pitch dark

Pulled me closer to your car

Bodies acting out our scars

Bodies marred

Kissed you hard

 

The stars, they hung

The moon, she sung

And still you cried

As I held you tight

 

Into your car you pushed me down

And hoped to lose what we had found

Yet, now sprawled out on the couch

Clinging hands and searching mouths

A bang went off inside my head

I found myself inside your bed

 

The stars, they hung

The moon, she sung

And still you cried

As I held you tight

 

The sun rose high

You let out a sigh

Your demons passed

But mine remained

So there I left you

Sleeping off our pain

 

The stars, they hung

The moon, she sung

And still I cried

As I held you tight
