Hazy city lights filter into the atmosphere,
It rests against the fallen lovers,
They belong to a darkened world,
Where the stars pierce the night,

The foreign light reminds them,
They have stolen this moment,
In this city they cannot be,
And so they clasp each other close.

Quaking amongst the crumpled sheets,
They revel in the moment so long denied,
Together the broken souls sigh,
And the bed absorbs past sins.

The shadows soften their faces,
And the innocent lovers are reunited,
On their lips first love is rediscovered,
It still tastes so bittersweet.

The light only grows stronger,
The blinds cannot hold it at bay.
They slam their eyes against it,
To escape the glaring truth.

And then the glow comes knocking
It pulsates through the door,
His arms bind her close,
And still she must slip away.
