My head against his chest. The slow rise and fall of it is my lullaby. A hand placed lovingly on my head, Combing through my hair. I look up at him. He looks down at me. Flesh against flesh. And even if my clothes weren’t somewhere between the kitchen and the bathroom, I would still feel completely naked. His stare freezes me, then entombs me with fire. It feels good to burn, At least every once in a while.

The familiar burn
My head against his chest. The slow rise and fall of it is my lullaby. A hand placed lovingly on my head, Combing through my hair. I look up at him. He looks down at me. Flesh against flesh. And even if my clothes weren’t somewhere between the kitchen and the bathroom, I would still feel completely naked. His stare freezes me, then entombs me with fire. It feels good to burn, At least every once in a while.
