CROSSHATCH AFFAIR
The blur from last night
Changes slowly to dawn
Crashing fast I’m on the lawn
Red tail light trails where she has gone
Let this one go the change is on
How many nights at the same hotel
Our favorite rooms we know so well
Bodies entwined with a midnight sheen
No one speaks no listening
A mirror on the ceiling glasses of wine
Don’t know what else we expected to find
Love you sleeping love you awake
Sadness grows and hearts could break
Always remember this crosshatched affair
This can’t go on even though we still care
One last time wanting so much more
But the passion is gone
Like the sheen we wore
Always remember this crosshatched affair
