How We Undid The Night

Messages unsent unread returned
Memories unrecalled invalid denied
Voices intoxicated reversed erased
Let the alcohol drown the night
Let the music soak up the stories
Let me be myself again

Feelings unfelt unstuck unpeeled
Words unmeant unrehearsed unheard
Smiles inverted reflected replaced
Let the dancing be our cover
Let the cab return us home
Let me be with you again

Songs unplayed detuned unsung
Lights unlit burnt out unwired
Passion diffused extinguished exhausted
Let the pictures fog
Let the morning come
Let the night, just this night, be undone
