Approaching Midnight

Right about now,

The thought of you makes me tremble,

I crave the melody strung in your voice.

My focus is extinct,

Memories flash at frustrating intervals,

and all I want is what

I can't have.

 

Won't you come pick me up?

We'll drive through the night,

listening to any number of mix tapes

with reoccurring themes,

effortlessly talking about our lives

and the addictions we share.

 

Won't you come pick me up?

We can promise ourselves

mercy in the morning,

and I know one of us will reassure that

we've somehow progressed.

 

Won't you come pick me up?

I long for the intoxication you bring,

the liberation from trying so hard

to forget what has happened,

the adventure and thrill

we create.

 

Won't you come pick me up?
