Nights only the Winter Remembers

SHIRTS THAT NEVER LEAVE MY CLOSET

Joy and I made awkward eye contact

after a night full of regrets

the salsa of the tongue

and the sharing of popcorn

when i lay my head down to rest

i sleep with the excitement that Joy will be laying besides me

when i roll over in sudden wakes of my sleep

We made love like a floating piece of paper trying to define gravity

in a world that has ripped us up into shreds

Baby if love is truly freedom

Why am I loving you with training wheels on my bike

i sleep with my eyes closed and my head bowed in her thighs

praying that God doesn't mistake my love for sin

-i pray a lot
