Motel Room

Brazzaville

Night is here in my veins 
I’m losing again 
And not much remains 

Come 
Lay down next to me 
I’ll tell you a bit 
Of who I used to be 

I was a handsome 
Golden boy you see 
Full of summer 
Morning poetry 

Dawn 
A soft winter’s day 
A room full of dope 
And cheap lingerie 

I love you my friend 
And though we just met 
You’re at least as lost 
As me 
So let’s close the drapes 
And lose the new day 
And see how dark 
We can be
