Startling to find myself alive,
For the first time in a long time,
Attributed my arise to you,
Like lightning you struck me, ignite,
After awhile the fascination faded,
Too soon we’re growing apart,
Wanted to fuse myself to you,
But your attention’s misdirected,
It used to be me,
You couldn’t get enough,
I go quiet,
Ignoring you, ignoring me,
A Speedy recovery from an addiction to my kiss,
How alone I am with you here,
Once you catch me, let me drop
Missed a step,
Reaching to lead me where we’re not ready,
Is it all you wanted?
Your honest eyes plead with me,
But your lips don’t agree.
Where is this extra attention you claim to have saved for me.
your persuasive touch,
instructing me,
the fever in our flesh,
a rise and fall,
the sense of losing it all,
a shake, a shiver,
a fresh fate delivered,
breath, soft as snow,
desirous fires ignited,
a whispered hint of the unknown,
stripped of my inhibitions.
