I Left My Heart At Home
I took care to leave my heart home
I came over to your place
Stuffed with naive harmless thoughts
Were soon to be replaced
Your mind focused on one thing
You didn't let it show
You were a perfect gentleman
Letting tension grow
I bit lip with nervous teeth
You let me play song after song
Waited hours to make a move
Wondered what took you so long
I took care to leave emotions behind
Set on resisting temptation
Soon as we found ourselves alone together
Couldn't stop at just flirtation
You said
"No harm in cuddling"
I cannot put the blame on you
I am the one who nodded in agreement
Put arms around your body too
My poor senses never stood a chance
Never saw our collision coming
Forgot to release frustration prior
To seduction ended up succumbing
My mouth missed texture of flesh
Salty taste of skin
Had no idea how sweet the rush would be
Intoxicating adrenaline
It has been several months with no pleasure
Physical or otherwise
Out of the blue you appear
Was not ready for that surprise
Now you keep entering my skull
Throughout the day
Took care to leave my feelings at my house
Lust refused to stay
Sometimes its necessary to have that physical connection with someone even if you know it won't lead anywhere
