Untitled

I.

His hands on my skin are warm and his touch is feather light

and he moves and I inhale his voice rumbles low murmurs in my ear

that sends waves of chills down the length of my spine.

because while he says he wants to treat me gently, that voice speaks

of promises that could take me over rough and hard and fast

if he were to only stop holding back.

And when I'm lost and at my limit and let out breathless pleas,

his entire demeanor changes and I'm able to glimpse at his eyes

molten and wild and wanting that makes me quake and tremble

because he will break me down, and he will still do it gently

 

II.

He is not mine,

He is not mine and I feel safe in the ambiguity

I feel safe because there are no lies of love where it does not linger

He comes back because he likes to, he wants to and I could

never ask for more

 

III.

A desperate jealousy consumes my soul when he looks at her

When he speaks to her with that voice she doesn't know I notice

And I cover my ears when she replies in a similar tone

And I must bite my tongue and clench my fists to stop myself

From wrapping my hands around his eyes, from calling out his name,

To focus his vision back on me, to not whisper the words

    I am here

Because she has everything, her beauty, her grace, her talent, her love 

    And all I have ever had is what you have given me

Please don't let her have you too
