Please don’t say this was for one night
only
As our bodies share warmth
While outside, prodding rain fingers the
glass of the windows
And between the growls of thunder,
deathly silence
Your head on my chest, my heart counting
precious time
The alarm clock turned away so as not to
mar the moment
With interference from the world beyond
Beckoning us to rejoin the common push
and grind
Let us instead rejoice of this new
connection
A moment shared with awkwardness, yet
comfort
As we shed our embarrassment and our
inhibitions
And left the world behind at the door
And here we lay now, sheets askew,
sufficiently exhausted
Taking small measures in simple
pleasures afforded
From a gentle touch and murmured
conversation
As on the abyss of slumber we totter,
but not yet fall
Please,
let this not be once
This
embrace
This
act
To
awaken sometime later and hide our nakedness
In
shame
With
the promise to meet, a lie no sooner spoken
Than
broken
Don’t
make me wait
A
prisoner in torment
While
you decide
To
cut the ties
With
the same worn out lines
I’ve
heard a million times
