The candle breathed a final sigh,
We let the dark come a drifting by.
Held you close, so soft, so near,
To find where your dreams appear.

Pinned back the velvet dark. We paid our fee
In crumpled bills, bought passage to the town
Where gravity forgot to work its shift for me.

Like frost on raw skin.
