if only.<3

xx.

if only you knew the words to speak
the ones that would render me breathless
leave me gasping as darkness consumes
if only you could make me weak.

if only you had the power to see
how deep your words could puncture
how jagged your words could stab
if only you could speak to me.

if only you carried the strength to say
enough lilting verses to make me swoon
enough words to burn my veins
if only you could make me sway.

if only you learned the language of limbs
that there's ambiguity in touches
flexibilty in my hidden meanings
if only you could perfect the rhythyms.

if only you knew the words to speak
the very words to make me tremble
the words that wouldn't leave me hanging
if only you understood... if only.
