I came to the Night,
sought the elxir of love,
but he said, "No never."
And pulled down the covers to expose me,
and my intention.

He saw me naked,
how I shivered in the Night,
and still said, "No never."
Even as I asked for clothes to cover myself,
to hide from you.

He laughed at me,
and my awkwardness beside you,
and repeated, "No Never."
Because my frame beside yours did not belong,
the Night had decided.

And he turned away,
laughing still at our circumstance,
still contemplating, "No never."
Frozen in his stance,
negative in not.

And you lay beside me,
naked too,
"No never" your responce.
And take the sheets and lift them to warm us,
the Night now asks to take us in-

But we don't want him...
