Tender Night

by shay-ruth

In the blackness of the darkest hour I felt his arms tight around my waist Loosening as they drew nearer towards by stretched Naked, fevered neck His stars all bolted my nerves to the bottom of my feet Stuck like pink bubble gum, melty and stringy Like 97 degrees His sweet breath grazed by cooled, burning cheeks His touch reminded be of swimming under the moon of The darkest hour Freely Wildly I drink in his laughter It trembles the pads of my fingers Shattering my vision all over again I wait for him on the loneliest nights, when Rusted wheels of cargo trains roll in, tight and full of history The neighborhoods won't quit, even when the day does He's always there Nonchalantly kicked up against some shiny car, titled to another He's wearing his darkest jeans and his James Dean smirk today I slurp it up Soak it in like he belongs to me Like I belong to him
