“You told me you didn’t love him, just the other day”
You said, reiterating the words you’d heard me say
“I told you the truth of how I felt at that time.
In that moment, I thought that everything was fine”

“But now you say you love him, how can that be so?”
Your eyes are accusing and I hear it in your tone.
I reply “one day you feel angry and another you’re fine,
I don’t expect you to feel the same way all the time”

“My feelings I’d buried, pushed them down deep inside,
It wasn’t a choice that I’d made, not to confide.”
You look at me with eyes full of disappointment,
At my feelings of someone that you to resent.

I’ll try not to get swept up in this emotional sea,
For the man who in many ways, is so wrong for me.
I’ll bury my truth deep down inside my heart,
And won’t let it split me and my best friend apart.

What good would it do my heart
To let my sweet kiss meet your lips
To savour the touch, the warmth
To feel you press against my hips

What good would it do to my mind
To keep in contact, day after day
To think of you whilst I try to sleep
To allow myself to dream away

What good would it do to my soul
To let you make me laugh so deeply
To feel the warmth when you’re there
To let you take care of me so sweetly

What good would it really do
To let these walls crumble away
To allow myself to fall so deep
To let my heart get led astray
As in truth, as much as it hurts
It’s not me that you love anyway

If you want to hold me
Hold me
I won't push you away
Wrap your arms around me
There I will let you stay
Squeeze me a little more
Before you walk away

If you want to lie with me
Lie with me
I won't tell you to go
Let me be your comfort
If you feel a little low
It would mean a lot
But I'd never let it show

If you want to love me
Love me
I won't stop you there
Run your hands up my back
Lace your fingers in my hair
When you wake in the morning
I will still be there

A secret touch…your fingers trailing
Down my cheek…tilt my chin
And my eyes meet yours…

Green to hazel…spellbound
Caught in your gaze…and I can't move
Can't do anything but look…

Then I'm lost…deeper, deeper
Than ever before…there are no words
And I see everything…

Just one touch…just one look
And I understand…everything

This is my freedom
Where I write what I choose
Without worrying about you
Or what I may lose

I write from my heart
And secrets escape
I tell what I feel
My thoughts take shape

So here I can purge
With no worry of you
Reading my heart
And my love for you

Lips meeting for the first kiss
Sparks flying, sensual bliss
Fingers tracing, electrical touch
Hunger growing, wanting so much

Tongues tasting, new paths sought
Too long denied, too long fought
Bodies touching, skin upon skin
Heat building, sizzling within

Kisses desperate, evoking fire
Fingers playing, pooling desire
Move inside, blissful delight
Skin upon skin, each others light

We come together, come as one
Loving you, I become undone

I used to write you poetry
Then one day I could no more
There were too many words there
That could leave my heart raw
So I threw away the pen I used
Desperately tried to close the door
Yet the feelings built up and up
Until finally I could take no more

The words spilled with a vengeance
Upon page after page of white
They talked highly of love and lust
They mentioned things, both wrong and right
They cursed and expressed and cried bitterly
Until the tears blurred my sight
Then finally the love bled through
And gave me the strength to fight
