Our Last Night
We laugh
We stare
We try hard to ignore
that we
both crave
so much more
I am needing
to be consumed
You are bleeding
from my poisoned wound
So tonight
would adoring you be wrong
knowing that tomorrow you'll be gone? Could we not care about what's right
for just one night?
Could we both set the world alight,
and burn away tonight? We'll roll
through the streams
of thornless, silken roses
while fear
of dawn
decomposes
Were I dying
you might kiss my lips
And I would reach out
if you lost your grip
But at present
I find it's no use
We both seem to require some excuse Could we not care about what's right
for just one night?
Could we both set the world alight
and burn away tonight? Dream with me
Come with me
Promise me nothing at all
Be with me
Trust in me
Promise me nothing but you Let's pretend it's our last night on Earth
Nothing else reveals such sense of worth
[before] [after]
