they thrived off of midnight hookups
and easy escapes in the morning
the lovers wanted each other
in a domesticated way
but only ever had each other
when they were making a mattress creak.

two stubborn boys alike
though neither would ever admit
that they needed each other
to stay sane.

sugary sweet lips
fingers like cotton
a date with coffee and cake
ending in furious lips
crashing together.

would the lovers ever
meet a happy ending?
or are they cursed to only meet
the slamming of doors
after leaving the suffocation
of the other's arms?
