Avenue A Inspiration

Avenue A Inspiration

I find you most beautiful at night.

You still reek of life while the rest of the world

wastes their time with sleep.

You have no patience for such frivolity.

Whiskey dreams maybe,

but only wide awake.

You have hearts to feed and 

minds to rattle.

Wiping tears with neon lights

you drag people through their darkness,

hit them with such life

they can barely catch their breath.
At 2am you’re stunning. 

Still looking like daytime

yet somehow austere.

With clamoring silence 

I can walk through your streets

heartened that there’s a subway handy

or a coffee within reach. 

Despite my deepest demons 

you welcome me with open arms. 

A selfish lover

You take all and leave so little left.

Perhaps you’ll be the death of me

but i’m sure it will be lovely.
