Keeping You
In my eyes
You are the only prize of the flesh ive ever wanted
So warm
And wanton
Yet numb until you’ve heard my voice
A soft sound spilling from my throat
Brings color to your cheeks
What would
Could
Silence do
Would it bring you to your knees
If I refused you
Once
Ignored you twice
And said ‘no’ to you a third time
Would tears then stain your cheeks
would you cry until you were weak
Frail with anticipation
What would I do next
It is a short leash I keep on you
Your heart
Skips beats
As my feelings change
