Dog's nails tap the kitchen floor



Eddies of laughter swirl through the barred door

I'm writing in the dark and cannot see the letters

I'm writing in the dark and cannot see the letters



If I may then I might

If only you were here with me tonight



Outside is a garden of buildings

Inside shes stares at herself in the mirror

Mesmerized by the light in her blue-green eyes

She smokes and sings along with the radio



If I may then I might

If only you were here with me tonight



Dog's teeth click

Headlights slide down the walls

While sleep makes me a deal I cannot refuse

I think of your absence, your sharp jaw

The way your collarbone surfaces under your skin



If I may then I might

If only you were here with me tonight
