Blankets and sheets

What if we played house
instead of this hide and seek
of some sorts
with us both hiding and nobody
wants to seek the glimpse of the sunshine

  But then we danced 
  to the sound of crackling fire in the woods
  deep as the night sky

What if it was a night without the poison
and we just ate snack at the diner 
down that busy road of yours

  This game seems tiring
  maybe it's time to get that rusty glove
  and unhang it from its shiny little hooks

What if I had not stayed
instead of bathing in your warm embrace
would it still be gone by morning?
