Ignite

We sit in this room

across from one another

in silence

 

I try to look at everything

but you

 

I feel your eyes on me

 

I feel them roaming

as if your hands are on my body

 

how is that even possible

 

it's as if you're right beside me

grazing your fingers where they please

 

Your lips following their trail

 

lingering here and there

exploring every dip and hollow

 

The room feels so tight

this tension is something I can't explain

this silence so deep

 

I feel so restless

I want to burn something

break something

move

 

I chance a glance

and our eyes collide

 

****

 

what is this feeling

how can something feel so hot

 

I try to look away

but I'm frozen

 

I wait

But your eyes are still on mine

 

A silent challenge

 

You get up and leave the room

 

...

 

And I follow
