Only One Night

by Elizabeth Leigh Nichols
(Cape Coral, Fl. USA)

Only one night was all i had,
only one night to be so bad.
being bad never felt so right,
that's why i granted...
YOU one night.
sorrow flowing from 2 souls ,
2 souls having nowhere to go.

i fell
i felt
i was held.

i laughed
i touched your soul,
u touched mine.

for a moment in time i felt i was whole.
wasn't prepared for the thoughts of u
to keep on pushing right on through.

i need to close this dream i have
just like a book that i shouldn't have

and realize ...
what i gave

u took.

I damn myself for writing that book.
