they say stay strong
and i tried
but hearts stray and betray pride
a thousand nights
held you as you slept
counted your breaths
and the beats in your chest
my lullabies because i loved you
but your hands never meant
to ever be held
you pushed me away
affections forgotten
for the freedom in a strangers touch
confidence consumed you
as the door closed tight behind you
i stayed and waited
for you to hunger for the love
missing between us
hourglass somersaults the days passed
no love you’ve come to look for but
your every secret mine
hunger brings your knocks
my door locked i must decide
to turn the key let you come inside and see
if i can resist the skin and the kiss
of my precious pandora
yes
i see your white dress
your baby doll lips
and bedroom eyes
my favorite fascination
so i seccumb
to the jasmine scent
of lovers skin
my breath warm across your neck
my mouth made
to trace your shape
familiar friends fondest games
and so we play
no love left to be made
i take the delicate shape
the perfect petals of my baby girl
and i **** you
my long walk out of eden
and so my knees find the floor
and your hands hold on tight
and your sounds fill the room
and i ignore the tears
they say stay strong and i tried
