"To new beginnings."

  Goodnight Pt. 2

 We lie awake

 to the pitter patter

 of a thousand angels

 weeping.

 The coldest night

 of our lives

 where we lay huddled

 smiling.

 Your warm breath

 the only heat

 in a day so

 cold and grey,

 and your eyes

 the only stars

 to light the

 roads away.

 The city finally

 goes to sleep

 and yet my eyes

 are open.

 Heated skin and

 icy fingers

 relay all that

 can't be spoken.

 And in this space,

 so close, so tight,

 you burn the brightest

 like a star.

 So that the city

 begins to fall apart

 to the rhythm

 of our hearts.

 And the brazen call

 of the rain,

 now does it

 recede.

 The velvet canvas

 of the night,

 nor does it

 concede,

 but August nights

 dwindle low,

 as the pattern of

 cascade,

 and as we huddle

 in the break of dawn.

 The pitter patter

 sofly fades.

 Goodnight, my love.

 Goodnight.
