Closer

I crept past the wind

Low by your side

Feeling the way along

Tears lit our way

As a broken torch

Kicking up the lust

Breathing in petrol

We came too close

And were burned

Into each ones other

Self

Along the streets we hunted

Your sight broke my gaze

Returning the hand to its glove

My grip tightened

Now here is the thing

This object we coveted and knew so well

Lit by its own tears

Pouring in light

Dropped

Remembered

Held

I smelt you

Closer
