Thursday's Kisses.

My heart breaks
for six days
waiting for Thursday's kisses
to heal me again

the swirl of music
and fading light
Thursday is in my arms again
curled against me
fingers linked with mine

and when the longest song ends
Thursday kisses me
like she will never see me again
and I whisper goodnight
against her throat
and untangle my fingers
wondering if she will
ever kiss me any other way
or ever again

and for six broken-hearted days
I wait for Thursday's kisses
to answer me.
