A drink of
your smile.

and the
world
feels
lighter
again
.
like the
underbelly
of circus
clouds
parading
in the
wind.

it is 1:00 a..m.
and I know
somewhere
your
checking
your watch.

waiting
for love
to come.

it's late.

and it leaves
you with
a sickening
gut feeling.

like a lover
who cheated
out your
back door
before you
could awake.

better be
gone.

and wipe
his
Achilles
kisses
from
your lips.

and then
I will
sing
to you.

whisper songs
in your
ears
and heart.

and we
will dance,


be each
other's

saviors

again.

like pieces
of bread
in a sandwich.

and it
doesn't
matter
what life

might ever
put between
us .

we sing.
