for the lovers lost in the darkness of midnight

for those discovered in the break of day

from cascading light through broken blinds

we awaken in the arms of each other 

holding on to prevent the loss of our humanity

lest we separate unfulfilled 

lacking in loves sweet pleasures

we shall linger in the beautiful warmth 

of the morning sun

as the shade of regret 

hangs over our rotting stomachs

filled with the angst and loathing 

left by liquor and bitter pills

this is for the lovers lost

and for those found again

this never ending routine

stealing moments 

we could have remembered

great things unachieved 

great loves never witnessed

great stories never written

our greatest love lost 

between the sheets 

in liquors sweet embrace
