Moonlight slips between the blinds, Breaking binds over our minds. I taste the mint upon your tongue; You breathe me in — sweat and cologne. Unhook, unbutton, kiss, unzip, Bite your tongue; you bruise my lip. It's strange how swiftly we return To the rhythm our bodies learned. Velvet-red marks stain my neck; We're past the point of turning back. This craving pulls like a riptide — Drags us under what we hide. Sunlight peeks between the blinds, Harsh and holy on our lies. Cough, cold sweat, wake-up regret, As I light up your cigarette.

Riptide
Moonlight slips between the blinds, Breaking binds over our minds. I taste the mint upon your tongue; You breathe me in — sweat and cologne. Unhook, unbutton, kiss, unzip, Bite your tongue; you bruise my lip. It's strange how swiftly we return To the rhythm our bodies learned. Velvet-red marks stain my neck; We're past the point of turning back. This craving pulls like a riptide — Drags us under what we hide. Sunlight peeks between the blinds, Harsh and holy on our lies. Cough, cold sweat, wake-up regret, As I light up your cigarette.
This poem speaks about a toxic relationship, comparing the vicious cycle with a riptide. I hope you will enjoy :)
