I Am Not Yours

arms locked in prayer
but just say mine
fingers touch flesh
taint the skin
only for a moment
forever in my mind
 
your thirst is mine
only at that time
please
say what needs to be said
not just only in my head
because the day will come
when yes passes through my lips,
and then down to my hips
 
at that moment 
all is changed
forever
 
amy is my name
human is my game
 
this fortress is but the facade
place my placard over my heart
 
shine the shield
only then do i yield
