too late

Posted in poetry tagged , , , at 4:11 am by Jenny Caffrey

you ask to join me

I resist

thinking the consequences only halfway, I say okay

you stroke

you kiss

I resist

No! my heart pounds

No! my mind speaks

my body whispers, yes

this is what I’ve wanted all along

touch me

see me

make me real

but touch

this touch

this touch with motives other than pure

is not what I want

maybe what I wanted for so long

asked for

begged for

cried for

worked for

now I stand guard

knowing it was a mistake

to let desire run free

I want to be more than your body desires.
