common lust?

I lusted after you

even if I never expected for it to be true

I visualized how it would be

the taste of your lips

the touch of your skin

the smell of your wounded soul

in my warm embrace,

I didn't want to share

I wanted you for myself

my mind filled with pictures and sensations

of my fingers against your thighs

and your hands against my back

nails digging in

and passion filling us both

the unseen bruises under your skin

felt like bonded courage that only my soul could respond to

I lusted after you

and when I close my eyes

I know that I still want you like that

I am full of this sin that burns so good

red flames, guiding me your way

flash against flash

sin against sin

those soft lips of yours calling me in

but is it a sin to love you like that?

in that way?

maybe... perhaps

but sinners are just like that

remind me, how soft, did you say they were...?
