Between Sheets and Desire

Maybe

I had one hit too many.

That would explain

my bra on the floor

my hand on your chest

the heavy breathing

of your desire.

I can’t

you breathe out

between bites on my neck.

I know.

This is wrong.

I moan

as our lips fuse together.

Probably.

 

In my mind

I know better

than to listen

to what my body is telling me

in the darkness of your room

with the fire

of your skin

against mine.

 

In your eyes

is the expectation

of regret

and your lack of concern

as you

trace

the curves

beneath you.

 

But under those sheets

is the knowledge

that nothing will -

Nothing can

come between us.

 

Not tonight.
