Sand Francisco

3am slides by as a quantum leap
While dim street lights bleed subtly on cheeks
San Francisco motionless
Paralyzed by dumb silence
Searching for fix. Mission 25th
Just a suit for a nice occasion
Queens lick on lips. Hiding 5 inches
Between thighs for a tight abrasion
Tenderloin hotel rooms. Draped in leopard print
Hiding bags in small cracks of the bathroom sink
Heartbeats double time from the foreplay
Stuttering as the flashbacks replay
"I'd die for you."
Wen the horse kicks ravenous into veins
"I'd die for you."
When Lou Reed sings that you'll be the death of me
By the end of the night, I'd die for you
"I'd die for you."
When you helped me lose all pressure points
When you fuck me so sweetly to sleep
By the end of the night
I'd die for you
It's quiet in here
Numb face on mine
Slightly salty taste
It's so cold in here
Bay wind kisses still paint the day
It's just impossible to focus on breathing at all
It's serious when the almighty heave above sinks
Right into your body
Falling faster than a roadrunner anchor
Zombie movie marathon begins
It's night of the living dead beat dads
It's San Francisco false
"I'd die for you."
When the clock strikes 4 and daylight breathes
As the bay bridge starts flooding in
By the end of the night
I"d die for you
When you painted my arms back & blue
As the sunlight strikes my pale forehead
By the end of the night
I died for you
