Lover's Burn
Saw you,
saw you staring at me, that hunger in your eyes.
You looked delicious.
I wanted to eat you up,
and swallow you down.
Across the room, I felt
the heat between us.
What are you doing, my beautiful beast?
It's all I can do
to control myself
from calling out to you,
asking if it's true,
that you desire me
to lie down with you,
under my cross
that I left at your home.
Am I your sweet little temptress?
Watch me dance.
Watch my hips,
my belly sliver like a snake.
Look into my eyes,
my eyes of fire....
the blue seas...of pain.
I want you.
I yearn and burn to have you again.
I love you. I hate you.
I want to be free of you.
Lord, oh, set me free.
