Dirty, ashamed, and confused
Not wanting to ruin this friendship
But unable to refuse;
these feelings and emotions
This lustfulness is something new,
These sensations make my body scream "GO!"
Have I always wanted you?
No.
But now these desires are so strong-
I can't hold back very long
Basking in friendship,
Sharing the rush
It's our little secret,
Just the thought makes me blush.
But with you gone reality starts to show,
Without the burst of hormones the truth kicks in.
Suddenly, I'm overwhelmed with the thoughts of our sin.
Being buried alive and wanting to scream
Feeling guilty because regret isn't present in this bad dream
Now I lay here
tears running down my cheek
Comfort in friendship is all I seek
But will it be tainted with the punishments of our lust?
Fears drown me now, as my bottled memories prepare to gather dust.

I really like this poem, very thought provoking and memory-inducing. Hoping beyond home the friendship isn't ruined!

this is really powerful, and sad, it reminds me a little of a situation i was in, but i don't think it ever made me feel bad, great poem tho, since you asked for criticism the only thing i can say is that the lines are uneven, but that's more of an OCD on my part than a stylistic/flow kind of thing
