i let you undress me

with grace i let you undress me
but in truth that is wrong, for from the moment we locked eyes i didn't let you do anything

you stripped me of my clothes in quick motions
as if you couldn't bare the thought of being separated by something as mundane as fabric
and with my clothes scattered on the ground and my body shivering as it met the air you wouldn't allow me the privilege of doing the same to you

but before i know it i'm pushed backwards into the bed with your skin on mine
it feels like a tidal wave of emotions rushing through me as you cover my lips with yours and then you're gone from my vision but i feel you across my body
you traverse lands unknown to even me and i close my eyes as i take a heady breath
your fingers stroke my flesh and light pathways of diamonds that sparkle against my skin

there's lust and passion and want and desire and longing
and it pulses through me, begging to be understood and satisfied
i wrap myself around you, the need for proximity reaching a peak from which i want to throw myself from
and with affirmation that requires no words you gift me with the closeness that i so yearn for

and set on fire in the middle of my mind i exist on a level of something crystal and pure
i understand nothing but the way my body moves with yours and the way our eyes lock and eons pass before they shift away to express emotion
there's a rhythm that we create; maybe this is a dance older than time itself but we create a rhythm that belongs only to us

its a push and pull; an expression of pain and pleasure and amidst all of it, truth
and i am laying bare my existence in hope that you see it and want to return to me
because when you fuck me there's a rawness that latches onto me for hours after
it churns my mind and reminds me of a primal need that has been stifled for so long

after many long years; i can let you undress me
but in truth that is wrong, for from the moment we lock eyes i didn't let you do anything
