your hands wrapped around mine
fingers tangled
hips bruised
the taste of sweat on your throat
and along your thighs
you're magnificence personified
with your golden skin
and nighttime hair
each taste of you sends me
reeling
into my heaven
i love you

your hands wrapped around mine
words smeared
lies told
the taste of blind belief in my mouth
and in the words i swallow
you're deceit personified
with your innocent face
and your easy lies
each line you speak sends me
hopeful
into my dreams
i believe you

your hands wrapped around mine
heart beating
lungs bruised
the taste of pennies in my mouth
and on my thigh
you're betrayal personified
with your flashing eyes
and your hateful mouth
each word you say sends me
scrambling
into my corner
i hate you
