A Midnight's Memory
Vodka I know you drank blankets the room
A washer so rusted the orange seeps through these weary cracks of cement floors
Smile covered face where I peppered you with kisses you can't feel
Drop to your knees feel the spots of sunken floor for you to weep in once more
Weary heart blowing the flickering candle out leaving traces of wisps lingering in these worn cells of the body
Hushed breath your chest rises slowly as I know you are anxious
Nightmares are coming as they do so much crawling within freckled skin
Shivers to the cold breeze drifting through the window shattered by a kid’s fun
Wrap the cotton blanket stamped with the scent of my dad's hard work
Reaching for you that familiar scent flashes through the mind
Backing away to gaze up where the moon dips to touch the little city
A smile at the crevice of your face can be seen as dawn collides with night
Where you and I will be known
