Forbidden Fruit

Your lips were the forbidden fruit

But your hands were the temptation that made me blind to the truth

Your dark desires danced in your eyes

As I laid facing you, on your side

Your hair covered your face

I placed my hand trying not to shake

Because you still gave me butterflies

Or maybe they were warning signs

A warning, letting me know that it was never supposed to be you and I

My palms still sweat when you hold me

And my throat still stiffens, when your eyes stare into me

All the air leaves my body

But those lips make all of those signs disappear

Because when your lips are on mine, there's no worry and no fear

All I feel is the sparks running through our veins

Knowing very well, that this amount of electricity will stop flowing one day
