Scratching your back until you fall asleep
Your breathing deepens and
The gentle rumbling starts in your chest.
When I am sure you are asleep I
Whisper the words that burst
From my chest.
"i love you."
But if I am stealing this time of ours,
Loving you when I swore to myself I wouldn't,
Even your promises to stay may not hold truth.
The moments I spend with you are bliss.
The time between is riddled with questions
"will you leave me?"
But while you are still, briefly, mine,
It is enough to push the thoughts to the back of my mind,
Submit my body to yours,
And, when you are sated,
Scratch your back until you fall asleep.
