Another Night

My hands
press against her curves
in a move that feels
like desperation.
I unwrap her
stalling for time
peeling back a layer, then two
until just the shiny surface remains.
I can see
the light at the end of the tunnel
drenched in her amber glow
and I press my lips around her
against her and I drink
long and hard
for safety
for sustenance
for sanity,
I press my cheek against her neck
I grit my teeth
and I choke through the sting
at the back of my throat
and behind my eyes
and I this is how I lose
another night.
