Owl Eyes

 Let's remember: 

In the low light, beneath the owl eyes

Amongst the giants, you wrapped your arms around my waist 

And moved me, like a wedding dance

And I was damp with sin and drunkenness 

And we were lost, they had been calling

And I was hours deep in love, caught in between the strings 

You lay next to me, shoes on the bed 

And I held you sideways, and laughed 

And you cried every time I was happy

Perhaps, you were miserable 

And my own selfishness refused to see it 

But I pretended to be fucked

And I rolled over, one foot off the side 

Said, goodnight

But I was up all night, sobered by your miserableness 

After underneath the twelve o'clock heat

I had found a man I would have married.
