Darkened alleys,
Cloaked in mist,
Tendrils of smoke-
Cradled in fist,
A cigarette,
Burning out,
A neon sign-
Flickers with doubt,
A fiery drink,
A purchased kiss,
Maybe more...
Is that your wish?
And as the day
Turns to night,
As the lovers start to fight,
Your empty bed
Isn't so alone,
We all want to be known.
