One night stand-in

 
I see you cross legged on the floor  
wondering if I'm ever going to  
 
if I'm ever going to  
(no)
 
but you have those  
offering eyes  
follow me like  
velvet Jesus  
around a  
priest's main office  
and I confess.  
 
I confess.  
 
That I want you  
(to be him)
for the night.  
 
I want to crawl into your lap  
long legs,  
long hair,  
long time alone,  
and lose it all as your tongue  
traces the hollow at my neck.  
 
Close your ears tonight  
in case some  
wayward sighs  
(his name)
fall across my swollen lips;  
 
because it's worth waking up  
in the morning  
with the skin of your mind  
curled under my nails  
and the curve of my  
body curing  
your restless
intentions  
 
you feel me tremble
as I reach between us  
draw you in  
and move;  
 
the back of my neck  
is humid with need  
and your bottom lip  
fits between my teeth  
and I confess gently  
as hips  
batter  
truth  
and  
there  
yes
god
now
 
please...

 
understand
 
that I need  
you  
 
(to be him)
 
just for tonight
