Even through such weary tired eyes
Her beauty was enticingly apparent
Her lips trying hard to perfect a smile
My sullen image in her hollow mirrors
With tempting allure she rolled us a joint
So we could smoke away all the dirt
The grimy filth of two lost lonely lives
Enlightenment arousing our ignorant bliss
Two lonely souls sharing one special night
But I don’t even remember her name
Beneath the shine of comforting neon
Two naked bodies glowed into the night
She laid herself sacrificial a cradle of love
Where passionate desire unconditionally lay
Waltzing to the beat of a furious headboard
Hopeful bones melting in an amorous duet
The fires of our passions left silken grey ash
Leaving trails of our comfort confirmed salacious
One night two strangers fell deeply in love
Yet still I don’t remember her name
So many times I wished for another moment
Once more to relieve both of our pains
To lose ourselves inside of each other again
Singing songs we moaned tender that night
When demands were left forever unspoken
And all she ever asked to receive in return
A supple memory she could keep evermore
Like the love I cling from my desperate flight
I still remember the smell of lust in her hair
But I still don’t remember her name
When I woke up the next morning
I had but one little wish
That we could live that night over again
And again and again and again and once more
But it was one single moment in time
Still I think of her often
But let it pass
Because we both will always have that sapid memory
But she won’t even remember my name
