Matchbox Love

strike a match, sing a song.
whats your name? this night is long.
we are crashing,
drugs worn down.
we are sinners trapped
in a sinners town.
love me now, just because.
love me for what i will be
& for what i once was.
forget pain, natural ache.
we are free. we are awake.
the moon a crescent,
the lunar pull.
trees are dark but even they
seem hopeful.
take my hand, warmth & touch.
don’t let me fall asleep
or ask my heart for much.
kiss my face, strange dark eyes.
the day will turn dreams into lies.
axis tipped, clouds hang low.
what is life and will i ever know?
you are here, we can change.
no one ever told me
forgiveness was so strange.
