day must always end, but it will begin again.

drunken kisses and revelations
that put us to bed
just before the sun rises.

the ink of these tattoos
will fade in time
but the meaning never will
and i will wear you in my skin
always.

the monster in my closet
used to sing me to sleep,
but i asked him to leave
when dawn came.

i never really gave
the idea of "forever" much thought;
what a childish idea-
what a silly plan.

but you make love to me
like you found your place inside me
and we hold each other so tightly
that don't know what skin is mine.

you don't like doubt,
but i'm full of that
and you love me so thoroughly.
