One More Night


I flinch
when you touch my shoulder
bare and soft in moonlight.
I roll over and cry
dry tears like a diary unread
lying in bed
one more night.

You ask
what I was thinking before
when prayers were real words
from parted lips.
When faith got us through
if love couldn't do
one more night.

I try
not to let the world in
where my darkness covers me cold.
Keep it at my fingertips
but hold it just far enough away.
A small price to pay
for one more night.
