The Number Three
We were born at midnight
Sitting side by side on the curb
Watching the dizzying lights of the freeway
Slice through the darkness
And bracing ourselves
For the inevitable crash
Perhaps it was that unspoken terror
That forced our hands together
After all there is nothing more intimate
Than seeing your darkest fears
Reflected in another persons eyes
Even when their fingernails are growing dirty
From your blood
At the end of everything
Anything can feel like love
