something in the way you look tonight

something in the way you look tonight
something in the way you wear that white shirt
something in the way you have left that last button undone
something in the way you have pulled your hair back
something in the way you behold yourself
something in the way you take your steps
something in the way you ride your smile across your lips
something in the way you lean against the table
something in the way you grace the wineglass

something in the way you look tonight
something in the rage in your heart
something in the thirst in your breath
something in the solitude in your eyes
something in the cold on your hands
something in the challenge in your dreams
something in the fear on your cheeks
something in the hatred over your arms

something in the way you looked at me tonight
something in the way my chest burst with grief
something in us, apart, playing foreigners
something lit all our dreams alive again
