For anyone who has felt compelled to be more brutally honest than they ever cared to be...
You made me do it
Begged me cut your heart
A serrated start
Swallowed hilt to tip
Finished with a twist
Nay one foot apart
Rigor swears my mark
Bit by bit you quit
Were there other means!
I tried piercing eyes
Nuanced language teemed
Heavy still you leaned
Denial’s unwise
Turning friends to fiends
Destinedly clandestine
Meet you at the crossroads
Where one night’s shadow palms
A dawn with other suns
Let me take you here
Where they can’t see for sleeping
Laughing over crystal
Clinking, sly eyes gleaming
Stolen moments in this
World of our own making
Last kiss, I race morning
Perhaps once, we’ll hold fast
Emerging as our dawn’s stars
Bow before the sun
But until we are won
Be my little secret,
Treasure, my private pleasure
Be my little joy
