With a silence lingering in the night
Rigid and deep, it digs into my side
Like a dagger freshly sharpened
Blood trickling down my unshaved leg
Fluttering on each hair

Every kiss you give 
light flashes before my eyes
I crouch down onto my boney knees
Hands intertwined
And beg for you to set me free

We are like a car waiting to crash
That gasping moment before you let go 
tangled up with each other
Your  bare skin rubbing against mine

So my darling, my light in the night
Untangle me from you
Bandage me up, one last time
touch my chapped lips
And breathe the word--

Goodbye
