Until

'Til you give up
'Til you give in
Stop the car
turn off the engine
Wake up at night with a pounding heart
'Til you go down
Loose your head
Step unconscious
from your bed
Until you walk from bar to bar
Until
Until you're scourged
Until you're snared
Reminded by the clothes you wear
Galled and sticky with desire
Until you bleed
Until you cry
Until you hurt as much as I
Until 'until' electrifies
your ragged face
your sleepless eyes
