Love, _________

Fire Storm

We didn't start with a kiss

We began with unheard words

That turned into questions

Then answers

Then actions

You left marks on my neck

My shoulder

My arm

My thighs

You've explored all of me

With clothes on

Those memories take my breath

And make me restless

You did that today

When I curled up with you

Traced up my leg

Grabbing my inner thigh

I swallowed what I wanted to say

And smiled instead

I wanted to dig into your neck

And hear your quiet satisfaction

But we weren't alone

So I ran my hand through

Your hair instead

Walking away

You apologized

And pulled my hair

Extracting a gasp for more

And we watched the other leave

I felt empty

Always wanting more as I warned

I become selfish

In my mind I imagine what I need

And never tell you

About my urge to throw inhibitions

And make sure you know

Just how much control it takes

Not to give in to the lust for

Your hands on my bare skin

By showing you what it does to me

You already know this

I'm a broken record

Yet no matter how many times

You whisper the same words

My breath always catches

As I wait to see if I come on top

Of priorities

But we still see we aren't allowed

Promise we'll find a way

And watch time fall away

What a sad existence

Waiting for you to find me

And waiting for my heart to stop

Simultaneously

No I won't see you leave

I can't stand to be alone again

So show me I'm not

For a night

Take a shot of something strong

Because I'm too weak

To say what I need to

We started with hello

And ended with goodbye

And filled the in between

With images of us

Of me

Of you

We filled it with smoke and music

We filled it with the smell

Of one another

What do you say now

I beg of you

Speak

Don't let me think

What's already haunting me

We have our usual script

Does that mean we'll stick to it

I wish I knew

I wish I knew

Just what you felt

What you think

We started with an introduction

You were laughing

I was shy

Do you remember?

Remember how it all begins

Because I don't know what state

Our bodies will be in

By the end
