I want to sleep with you....

Come lay your body down beside mine
in the place where my loneliness resides
and I will breathe you in

you could make me feel beautiful
if only for this night

Bedshaped and expanding
your whispered utterances
of calm reassurance

seeps through my facade
of complete control

that it won't hurt
but we both know
that it will

We lie to one another
and swear to God
that it is the truth

but the truth is

a glimpse in passing

a shy smile captured
in an intimate moment

the thrill of
an unexpected touch

It is not the pain
that makes us twisted
that weighs us down

but the leaving

because you will leave eventually

I cannot hold your attraction
for any longer than it takes
to strip myself naked

and move you to the point

when you break

and all your secrets
spill onto my skin

and you bend me and shape me
to be who you want me to be

A sad messy business
unraveling before our clouded eyes
as you unfold yourself from my bed

and your shadow kisses my lips
