Loving On Borrowed Time

Like sweet wine

Pouring cross my flesh;

Caresses rain like butterflies;

I feel no warmth from the flame

of the candle he holds.

Breaths lie heavy,

Seeping through the folds

As he pants into my ear

I love you

Creaking of the floorboards

Resounding in my head

Echoes through my heart

As he lies sleeping

Beside me

Like a breeze

Blowing through the window;

Feet patter to the door;

I am gone before he's awake

Because I can't stay

I cannot live

I cannot love

I can't do it on borrowed time
