He told me I was precious
I ran a finger nail across his collarbone
And he was on his elbows, kissing the flesh above my jeans
His eyes sank into me like an anchor in the ocean
Yeah
Is what I wanted to say.
Instead I said nothing and let my eyelids collapse
And felt that moment
Felt it
The sun setting and the sounds streaming from the speaker
The voice
Singing the same words I listened to yesterday
Singing cheer me on cheer me on cheer me on cheer me on
And we are lying side by side
My eyes are growing
You tell me you can’t believe it
And I smile and let you in
Because this is the closest I’ll ever get to trust
And love
And lust
A flame under the bed
