In this barricaded hovel,
with boarded up windows,
I'll settle you into the shadows
in the corner behind the door.

With the world at our back,
I'll staple us together -
to the wall, to this moment
to make us whole again.

I know it's not the forever
you're sacrificing for
but tonight I turn you into
my latest skeleton in the closet.
