the storm

 

Your skin next to my skin

Makes my heart shiver, makes it shake.

Hands on my back,

Lips forage my arms;

Are you looking for something

In me?

I won’t hurt you, gorgeous girl.

The thunder seethes and the lights flash on,

Flash off,

But it’s silent and dark in here,

It’s just us breathing deep—

I wonder if you’d like me,

Without the eyes and without the hair;

You are soft, and you tell me things like

I like you, I like you a lot.

Oh, oh you know what to say.

We fall

Deeper,

Deeper,

Into the storm.
