Since you’ve closed your eye
I cannot see
the flicker in your smile was built for me
trembled in the night when reason failed
feeling out your fire pouring through my ways,
Dearest,
I almost took you for a dance that day,
painting into darkness no wandering little light
told me you haven’t loved enough,
the air was burning more than I could say
yet from the front row it was a remarkable play
so I stayed,
unreasonably long
and that cold evening going back home
I saw you,
again and again…
