a town with a midnight straggler
he lurks with whispers that
escape lips caked with frost and lipstick
the taste was only a second, but
it was just enough, enough for a
man to go crazy,
and
and
and
she just left, she's gone
she didn't want to stay
and he didn't blame her
but wandering these labyrinthine
streets with cold feet and a broken heart
he'll just lay down and wait for
the cold to consume him, all night
the torment is eternal, these chills
never leave the body, even
after it's expired and forgotten
