That One Time

Enslaved to her mind
Like the robotic slaves to mine
Candy are my thoughts
Lust isn't my only crime

I spot her platinum hair
She smiles at my squinty stare
She makes paper men fold
Skin of a goddess, I so must hold

Her name is Taken
Her outer shell was claimed
Though her thoughts were forsaken
So I gave attention to her brain

My name is Tainted
From all the time I've wasted
Though her presence had me change it
So I decided to embrace it

A weekend at the cabin
With all my foolhardy friends
With all the poison you can imagine
My only loss was my cool cardigan

Chilling on a bridge, we gaze
To witness the cooling sun
Take a dying plunge into its watery grave
For with the moon we have our fun

Empty bottles is the sign
To head back to the fire pit
Left behind was her and I
As others fade into the abyss

We take our time to leave
Coquetting with our frozen laughs
I give her my sweater
I zip it up and she gasps

She bumps into me
Feathering her hand onto my shoulder
She tries to speak...
My only intent was to hold her

But my lips make her hush
Feeling of hers so lush
I feel her chest moan
As I use my fingers as a brush

Tensed, she pushes me back
Keeping a grasp upon my sleeves
Clenched are her thighs
Buckled are her knees

Hesitantly pulling me
Staring at me, like I was to save her
I grab her waist and pull her into my arms
Giving her a hug that we both would savour

I feel her heart and she feels mine
Thumping like a stampede
Standing there rocking side to side
Slowly dancing to the beat

We stay awhile
Staring up at the stars
A Cold War between our hearts
To reunite with the many friends of ours
Full of fuel without the spark

She vanishes with her man
Arguing like every other time
As I am being entertained
By a robotic slave of mine

The platinum blonde blesses my eyes again
As she comes back outside
Wearing my cool ass sweater
Full of all the tears she dried

Silently together
We look up at the stars
She smells me on my sweater
I picture her inside my arms

Time finishes off the night
As our friends creep away to dream
Her boyfriend once again
Takes her away from me

I lay there on the dock alone, with her inside my head
Staring into the starry night, while someone without a name, lays inside my bed

I never knew a silly kiss
Could mean so much
I never knew I could feel
Without someone to touch

We were never alone
Only that first and only time
We will never be together
Though I will never leave her mind
