Why We Never Kissed During The Day

How weightless our heavy bodies become

In the darkness

When we see each other just barely

Shapeless to the point that we become

Silhouettes that could belong to anyone really

Stripped of guilt and blame

And rememberance

We hide in the corners of the night

So well that in the morning we can't even find us

In the darkness your ego fades away like my pride

They become nothing more than words we don't exchange

Daytime is for those who can afford to be seen

Not just by others but themselves

For us

Daytime is when we'll drink crappy coffee together and talk about politics in the shop with purple walls and uncomfortable seating

While you lean into one of two possible laps

You'll tell me this is not the city for you

I sunk into the greyness of your eyes

And grey our nights have become

Our nights were not silky and sheer

They were covered by the november fog and mid december snow

Hidden in the fur of my leopard print coat

If we had kissed at noon

The whisper of your disinterest would have been a loud voice

Which I had no desire of hearing

In the unholy hours of our unity

We could blame our joint lips on whiskey

Or loneliness or poor sight

During the day you were just a short man

With great ambition

The light would expose the selfishness you hid in your fingertips,

The coldness in the strains of your golden hair

The compassion lacking from your strong arms

The kind of strenght I needed

Was not the kind I found

I knew better at noon

I knew better when I was having lunch

Or doing afternoon yoga

Or drinking my morning tea

I knew better while I listened to the footsteps of twilight

And then poured myself into a cup of boiling mindless liquid

Served myself to you

Never before 10

I expected to find bloody heart pieces in the morning

But the night had already taken them away
