not near enough

Posted in sonnet by maggie on June 18, 2009

this hall's familiar, i've been here before
and you were here with one who looked like me
a few spare bucks and favors, in advance
the desk clerk checks his watch and gives the key
yeah, one debt paid, only ninety nine more

you're here already, i'll be last to leave
and in between will be here when i can
perhaps some extras when i get the chance
in this room i'm your woman, you're my man
and i'll take no more hits than you receive

we have only an hour, not near enough
to pair up all your words with all my dreams
just squeeze in what we can and call that love
(i'm here with you in mind, or so it seems)
