'Goodnight' and 'stay alive'

Strange nights are these
Where the Boy who Loves Needles
Discourses with the Girl who Loves Razor Blades
Comparing overdose details
And spiritualities

Maybe covering tales of past love
Or past and present loneliness
In words of sewn stomachs
Pierced nipples
And ibuprofen

In the less then glamorous setting
We could have compiled tables
Of the visits to the ladies
The outdoor cigarettes
And the staggering lovers

Instead we cut ourselves open for each other
Pushing details forwards quickly
As if it would be
Our last chance
To read each other

To the coldness of the corridor
My love soon returned
And a brief hug
Signalled 'Goodnight'
And 'Stay Alive'
