You could do better

Sitting here in the dark
This could be the beginning of an amazing start
With your skin between my teeth
I feel the quickening of your heartbeat

You could be my lover
Be my lover
My lover

Are you opposed to this
A girlfriend with a new twist
I could show you what you've been missing
Start doing instead of just listening

Better
You could do better
You could do better than her

Just one kiss
You'll be remembering the taste of my lips
One look into my eyes
You'll be mine, I won't even have to try

My lover
Be my lover
You could be my lover
Better
You could do better
You could do better than her
You could be my lover
Be my lover
My lover


What I really should have said to you that night in the dark.

Prayer

She walks so delicately
Each step
Ever so carefully
Brings her one step
Closer to you
And she breathes
A sigh because
Being away from you
Feels like dying
And every breath,
You can feel her breathe
And inside of you,
It's her heart that beats
And every prayer she speaks
Is written on your lips
So perfectly
And every word is for you



It's an old poem but still one of my favorites.

Exposed

I am a mess; a wreck
Lying helpless in the fold of your arms
The only steady thing is the beat of your heart
And I am damaged; fragile
Pulling you close to feel your warmth
Nothing as consistent as the beat of your heart
I am raw; vulnerable
As I breathe in the scent of your skin
Soothed by the unchanging beat of your heart
And I am exposed; unmasked
Aching for the feel of your skin on my fingertips
Betrayed by the uncertain beat of my heart
I am foolish; irrational
Desperate for the taste of your lips; your kiss
Deceived by the irregular beat of my heart
I am weak without you

My Beloved Moon

You hold together all the little pieces of my broken heart

Like sutures to an open wound
That's closed but will never heal
And this hollow is filled with all the little pieces of you
And in some part of me you make me feel
Warmed to the temperature of you.
