Pit of My Stomach

Standing silent in the darkness
I can feel you standing next to me
Feel  your breath upon my flesh
With your lips across my neck, I shudder
Whispering sweet nothings in my ear, nothing more
I push you away, but you’re always there

I try to find the light that isn’t there
I’m trapped in a cage of darkness
I am your prisoner, nothing more
You say you just want to keep me
To hold me forever, this makes me shudder
Sending goose bumps across my flesh

Your fingers brush my cold, white flesh
Tracing lines that just aren’t there
Anticipation you seep out makes me shudder
Encased and hidden, we’re wrapped in darkness
Unknown, you make your move on me
Taking some, expecting more

You take all I can give and more
Kissing every inch of my flesh
Taking control over me
Though not apparent, the power is there
Hidden beneath “romantic” darkness
Even the breeze seems to shudder

Slits of light dance like through shutters
Small pieces, then some more
A hopeful ballet through the darkness
Bringing back color to my flesh
I could see it, but when touched, it wasn’t there
Short lived hope for me

Suddenly, again, you reach for me
I can feel your lustful shudder
You can’t control yourself with me there
You push boundaries, wanting more
Running fingers over my flesh
Thinking your covetous sin, concealed by darkness

Yet in the darkness you remain for me
Manipulating my flesh, making me shudder
But underneath it all is more, but you hide how much is there
