Sheets

You
are the beautiful sin
this moment I'm locked in
You
are my sweetest pain
in this body and soul will stain
You
are my tender fear
shattered Sundays in a tear
You
are my wrong and my right;
the peaceful rage every night
You
are the unknown
til heart breaks and be thrown
You
are the closest stranger
the trouble, the risk, and the danger
You and I
sealed in sheets we cover
I will drown in you forever
