Awake at the Wall

in decadence and sane, I stood by the wall
thought I’d turn my back to stone thought I’d let myself at home
but all the strangers knew my name all but one who turned away
in fear he'd been there once before behind that same tormented door
i saw his bed amazing i stole his coat to save the cold
burned my speech to keep him warm dropped a boy's mouth for my own
but beauty's left the aging for this youth
i want to press my lips to his winter chilled flesh
press his hands to the sky
i want to sleep in the night in his eyes in the rain of Berlin
i want to sleep in the night in his eyes in the rain in Berlin
in the night in his eyes in the rain in Berlin
