Music To My Ears

I unbutton your shirt slowly
gently brushing my
hand over your bare chest
your intake of breath
quicken with every touch
finally I remove your shirt,
your pants follow in quick succession
that all too familiar urges is back…

I so much want to forge ahead
do all the things we use to do
but I stop midway
as the picture of
the two of you
in “our” bed
flashes in front of me,
it's been haunting me for days…

"Stick to the plan"
I think to myself
I play with your hands,
rubbing them slowly between mine,
before taking your hands 
and using the handcuffs
to impale them to the bedposts…

From the stunned look 
on your face,
I can see you didn't expect this,
words dried up
as the whip comes out 
from under the bed,

your eyes pleading
without saying a word
as the first lash
connects with your chest
the scream you utter
is like music to my ears...


*I probably had some twisted thought going on in my head a year ago*

Sad that someone would be unfaithful to the person that they committed their life to forever...You have expressed how the person that was cheated on would feel very precisely...Great descriptive of the emotions..Keep the creative pen flowing..Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work..Sara
