The Point of No Return

Sixteen year old sweethearts, in her house all alone; Her father still at work, her mother not at home; Kissing they had tried; leaving hickies on their necks; Petting body parts, they would venture onto next. TV providing light in her otherwise dark playroom; Anticipation and fear, the young couple both consume. Zippers unzip; not sure of what they might find, “Stop”; “Keep on going”; playing ping-pong in their mind. Touching other’s body parts; enjoying where they are touched; Worried that they may be liking it a little bit too much. Conscience of each other breathing deeper as they explore, Also listening carefully for the closing of a car door. Bodies start to entwine, venturing further then they had thought; Biology they learned in school but this topic had not been taught. How to stop once you’ve gone this far is a lesson hard to learn, As this high school sweetheart couple reach the point of no return. Clumsily they manage to get through their first time; Pleasure, pain and guilt feelings make a mixture quite sublime. Quietly they get dressed as they hear her Mom walk in the door, Both of them wondering if they’ll ever do this any more.
