Light your cigarette off mine,
Palm my cheek with a smile.
If you let me in this way,
I will never know how to run away.
The length of time it's taken
For me to write this way again
Is discouraging.
Yet I am here,
And I was there on your couch;
The infatuation is with me always,
Like a piece of my bloody rib.
The mirror showed me someone
Who has not been seen for so long.
And seeing her finally,
With a glowing dew on her skin
And wild fire in her eyes,
Offered proof I have been waiting for.
My heart beat drives my soul.
It takes me straight to yours.
