Nuit Blanche

Close my eyes, let the tempo rise, pull the reigns on this pain that runs through my veins, forget me the throb of my chest to the pulse of the beat, let me not rest till the rush of the heat rips my fingertips from the sway of my hips to the bruise of my lips and strips me bare for all to stare at my midnight hair that cuts through the night like the first light of dawn, but I’m not yet gone with my brow so drawn on the rhythm in my breast that thumps like the crest of a wave to save my heart from breaking apart on the shore of all my thoughts behind that door, while I stay on the dancefloor that tore at my vocal chords till I could only scream for more, because I know no one will wear me down but myself, while I drown my voice on the shelf of yesterday, tucked neatly away behind the booming base in my ears that fears not the passing of years and tears and sneers, leers, jeers, please-not-here’s, there’s nothing to see but strobe lights to make me blind, and nothing to hear but music that mutes out the mind, so hold me tight, make it right, come over and fight, cover me in light, cover me in white, it’s just another night of fun under the moon in the sun.
