I just want to feel-- A little warmer, A little safer, A little better than this. Angels drag their wings, halos And other heavy things, slipping by My window at night, but never coming in; I wonder what the darkness asks, collecting Tokens of trouble throughout the night, One question after another, the price For any undercover lover. But don't you remember when? How this all began again, a time ago tomorrow, This shifting-ground romance--a chance, A waveringly secure stance unlike any other; Something of a safety net, that somehow Touches me undone, feather-light But halo heavy, and still, I just want to feel-- |
