wake with me when the sun rises
make love to me through the night
kiss my hand and stroke my hair
let me wake in the smell of my cigarettes and your wine
that pungent taste of sweat on our lips
lets poison our hearts
let the stars bear witness
to such transgressions of youth
the foolishness that comes with our actions
the murmurs of sweet nothings
declarations of eternal love in the late hours
yes, yes spend the night here with me
regret it in the morning
when the poison has worn off
and my scent begins to fade
call me at noon just to hear me speak
to see if you can relive it
that familiar feeling
and when you can’t;
take a breath and sigh
remember when the sun came through the window
remember me looking into your eyes
take another breath and sigh
then let me go as the sun sets
