your soft lips made mine feel soft too
my plain self effloresced under your fingers.
your touch made me quiver
your kiss sent a shiver
down
my spine
signs of fear and confusion
passion was our mistaken conclusion
or maybe that mistake was solely mine.
looking back,
the quickening of my heartbeat was a warning, not an answer
electricity can warm you
but it can burn too
i was prepared for the spark
but not for the consuming flames
i felt the unsavory heat of embarrassment not long after
grappled for an explanation as i flailed into uncertainty
who's to say where i faltered?
only you, but you've gone mute.

i felt the unsavory heat of embarrassment not long after
grappled for an explanation as i flailed into uncertainty
who's to say where i faltered?
only you, but you've gone mute.
