"I want you," she said, smiling crookedly

or CHARMING

 In the midnight of no witches
I go naked to the balcony
And form your name
That I do not know
I need you

Smugly
out of context
A siren screams
And quietly
I slip back into my room
Knowing that nothing more is needed

I laugh longingly
and look for a pencil.
