"Against"
If I search
the glittering glow
of neon that dots
the night
If I walk the same
deserted streets
holding on
to false hope
lighter in hand
waiting to burn
If I sit alone
in the bed
empty and cold
my desperation
will wrap me up
in her perfect embrace
If I close my eyes
and dare imagine
what could have been
I'd hear your voice
feel your breath
lie with you
skin against skin
And everything I've ever known
would pale beside
your subtle beauty
Your love - too much
the intoxication
consumes me
As morning light comes
I wake up
with no one there
and the scent of you
lingering
imprinted on my heart
forever in shade.
