When The City Sleeps

It's only when the city sleeps

that I feel comfortable enough to

admit that there's a small part of me

missing you

ghostly fingers dance over my ribcage

heading downward, shockwaves

reverberate through me, just

like the night we caught the fever

and made love in every room

you made this dingy apartment sing

energy up to the ceiling,

laughing as you came

I can feel your hands

brushing through my hair

comments on how soft it was

how you wanted to feel this way

forever, you and me

you wanted to take the time

to figure me out

so when the city sleeps

I lie awake, it's the only way

I can feel you now
