Are we kindred spirits?

As I lay here

With the lights on

At 1:30 a.m. unable to sleep

Are you awake too?

And if I sent you a message

Would you want to talk?

At 1:30 a.m.

About our mutual agonies

The demons who keep us awake

And bind us together

And if you knew I loved you

Would you be afraid?

Would you run away from me and leave me to languish

In want of your touch?

Or would you steal away to the dark underbelly

Of the city

And wrap your ivory arms around me

Let me run my hands through your silky hair

Kiss your rosy lips

And maybe we can sleep

Together at 2 a.m.
