Disconnect

The kisses were empty

And touches blase'

I felt the disconnect

Long before I felt

You between my thighs

The tide was premature

And the flood pointless

Passion flourished fire

Love so demure

Thoughts became hushed

Under layers of lust

Clouded need

And as the fire fueled

Explosion didn't last

A lack luster come down

There was no way out

I was surrounded

Scarred where

Your fingers singed my skin

Scents of misplaced emotions

Smoldered between the sheets

Invading any space untouched

By our feinding bodies

Breath became stolen as

Faces became backs

Once again clothes covered

The naked truth

My eyes closed

Echoing the click of the lock

Stamping out the faint embers

Of what used to be

I felt the disconnect

Long before I felt

You between my thighs.
