I said it was the last time last time
A simple prompt - a line from the chorus of Grandson's song Fallin' (Temptation) that punches me in the gut every time. In 200 words or less, tell me where it takes you.

Last Time

I said it was the last time, last time

But I’m addicted to the rush and the sweat

On your skin as we dance in the dark

Stolen glances as his hand holds mine

All the while knowing that those fingers traced

The curve of your chest down to your hip bone

While we lay and wonder how we’d made such a mess of things

How we kept making such a mess of things

I said it was the last time, last time

But I'm wound up tight and the only way

To unravel is in your arms

Like peeling off layers of damp winter clothes

You lay me bare and I shiver

Unsure if it's from the cold or anticipation

And we know there's only one way to find out

But I wish I could let this go

Because I said it was the last time, last time

All the vows I ever made are broken

And the pieces are getting so small that soon

They'll be nothing more than dust
