You like to meet me here
\nIn the badly-lit depths
\nOf Caf\u00e9 Despair<\/p>\n

Where none of your friends will see you
\nOrdering wine, squeezing my hand,
\nComing on to yet another body<\/p>\n

No one but you
\nWould dream of touching.
\nYou think you might get lucky,<\/p>\n

That I might let you in
\nFor a glass of wine and a few sweet
\nNothings
\nAbout how you\u2019ve always loved me,<\/p>\n

Might be desperate enough to surrender
\nThe defenses I admit
\nHave never defended me from anything<\/p>\n

But admitting
\nHow much I need
\nThe slight of your hands<\/p>\n

Burning in my darkness
\nLike the candles starring
\nThe caf\u00e9 atmosphere<\/p>\n

That makes us intimates, intimating
\nFavors to be granted,
\nThough from your perspective<\/p>\n

I\u2019m already split
\nInto thighs
\nOf surrender and bitterness,<\/p>\n

Already wondering in my emptied bed
\nIf you were ever there,
\nSwollen with desire, and what<\/p>\n

If any love you made
\nWhen you sowed
\nMy void with fire.<\/p>\n

In this psalm there is a sense of deceit and secrecy, and that the interaction between the two people needs to be hidden. It is unclear if the speaker desires that their relationship function like this, or if they are being used. In contrast, Psalm 101 says \u201cHe who deals deceitfully shall not live in my house; he who speaks untruth shall not stand before my eyes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
