City Lights

The bass beats pump through the air,
sending hearts a little higher.
Flashes illuminate the faces across the room,
making the people glitter for a second;
but a second is all he needs.
Her bared skin seductive in fishnets,
and his eyes determined behind black bangs,
they're breaking away from normalcy,
and taking a stab at temptation.
A throb of the speakers, and a clash of bodies.
A mix of drinks and sweat and subtle pangs,
knowing something will happen, they bet.
A couple of kids,
trying to be heroes, trying to be rock stars.
Seeing themselves in city lights up in the sky,
it gives them a rush.
For a night they're kings.
Kings of neon signs and
one night stands.
Smoke and beer,
cigarettes and bands;
turn it up a little louder, and see how high
you can go.
Lose yourself in the fear;
fear of never finding yourself again.
Dance with a passion,
and kiss with fervor.
You'll never see each other again,
after the night is over.
