Keeping Time

Location

It's 1:41 am

I am still awake

 

The room is so lonely 

I can only shake

 

Where are your two strong arms

beautiful hands to hold mine

 

Bring me into the safe, warm

sanctuary of your chest

 

Where is the gentle breath that calms me

Lullabye 

 

I need the smell of cigarettes and oldspice

to reach R.E.M

 

It's 1:45 

You are not here with me
