it's twelve a.m.

and She's throwing

pebbles at my windows

it's one a.m.

and i'm painting Her

in my basement

it's two a.m.

and We're in the cemetery

playing Her favourite Game

it's three a.m.

and She's picking glass

and rocks from my hands

it's four a.m.

and We're on a boat

in the middle of the lake

it's five a.m.

and She's dancing naked

on the Moonlit beach

it's six a.m.

and We're watching

the Sun rise slowly

it's seven a.m.

and i'm nursing

a busted nose

it's eight a.m.

and We're going home

to Her shitty apartment

it's nine a.m.

and She's snoring soundly

as i smoke a cigarette

it's ten a.m.

and i'm watching

Her suck Her thumb

it's eleven a.m.

and i curl up so i

can Sleep beside Her

it's twelve p.m.

and i whisper "Love You"

hoping She doesn't wake
