dark

i wanted you in the dark.

when the night would engulf our faces, and the moonlight would lick them. when the voices were soft, and the whispers were low. when the air reeked of cigarettes and tears. when the fingers were cold and the noses numb.

i wanted you in the dark.

the lights off, the fridge humming, and our eyes aware. the sky black, the stars prickling, and our fingers laced. the weather dull, the clouds drizzling, and our lips meshed.

i wanted you in the dark, when no one was around and no one could hear. when it was only us, and felt like that was all it could ever be. all it would ever be.

i wanted you in the dark. but it was a one-sided desire. the dark would never be one for you - i would never be one for you.

give me excess of it; that's surfeiting, the appetite may sicken, and so die.
