Blue Eyed Boy

Even in a candlelit room Your blue eyes had such radiance They hold secrets, stories, security I gently touched your face Your breathing became deeper But your eyes never left mine Even when our hearts belonged to others Our energy never faded We always come back But this time We went further under the sheets Our legs intertwined Your head leaning against mine I whispered “Let me trace Every scar Every birthmark Every tattoo To erase All the lovers Who have made you wounded For I want to be the one Who causes you goosebumps At the sound of my voice I want you to only remember The taste of my lips And the touch of my tongue As it glides down your chest I want your muscles to stiffen At the thought Of my nails leaving their mark On your back I want your heart As it is Jealous Unsettled Afraid Let me shelter it Until you change your mind Or for at least tonight Until the candles burn out And I can no longer See your blue eyes”
