26 - Lights Out

Isn't it awkward to meet without our clothes on?

Playing bride and groom in this dim-lit hotel room

Shall I call you "companion" in closed quotation?

Lie and let my darkness light up your tender womb

.

A miscarriage of love with marriage out of reach

My phone rang true to the fear of what it might preach

Better to turn it off for us to see the light

I'll have to leave you if I don't leave you tonight
