The ten hour itch.

By Dr Benway

Desolation rings through the silence,
picking, scratching, burning,
a sickness with no illness,
confessions without sin.

Ten hours, only ten hours...

An ecstasy so glorious,
a greed, with no pity,
innocence lost, and regained
if only for a time,
will it be this time?

Ten hours, only ten hours...
