Eve Words

Used to be that we 

Spent hours 

In your room 

Talking

About nothing in particular

And everything 

That everyone else

Never let us say

So we 

Spilled

So many secrets

Into the cups 

Of us

On that bed

And 

Laid out on that carpet

Thick, soft, safe beneath my head

But oh so bad for the knees

Yes we did those things

Too

You 

On yours

And me on mine

And I'm hoping to hell

You make me come this time

Before my knees give out 

Outside we were simple

Solid, going strong

Best friends fending

For ourselves

Against a hard knock world

Late nights 

Lost in music

Loud then soft 

So we could discuss 

The finer points of lyrics, 

Love, life and us 

At our prime 

We were wasting 

Our time 

The way that suit us

Soon us 

We, you and I 

Too tested the patience 

Of skin pressed tight

Buttons

Glutton for punishment

Beneath greedy eyes

And hands

And pants 

Were after thoughts

Thrown across

The room

Leaving traces of cotton fields

As we toiled under 

Our hot suns lust 

We were high on us 

Easy love as I 

Introduced you too new corners

Of me, ones you only saw in jeans

That screamed to you 

In hushed tones

Lush curves on small bones

And I settled nicely in your lap

Speaking freely, I 

Took long pulls of you

Tasted like salt and sex

And the regrets

We never let across our sights

Hiding however

Happened to work best 

On any given night

Give in right 

Or don't 

I don't remember

If I ever even tried

We only ever really lied 

To ourselves 

Our bones bared just enough

To see the human

Parts of each

That we ignored

Its more than I ever thought it'd be

But we don't have it anymore

And I find myself

Smiling while I wonder 

If we even had it in us 

Before

Back when we were friends

Bent 

Of fighting life's demons

With any strength 

We could muster between lust

And the eve of

Those moments left when 

All those moons

And suns were done with us
